Re: [patch 1/6] pci-quirks: unhide 'Overflow' device on i828{6,7}5P/PE chipsets

Hello,

Please use the following version of the patch. This version has shorter
function names and message, and most importantly, better explanation
of problem I encountered.

[patch starts below]

Some BIOSes hide 'overflow' device (dev #6) for i82875P/PE chipsets.
The same happens for i82865P/PE. Add a quirk to enable this device.
This allows i82875 EDAC driver to bind to chipset's dev #6 and not
dev #0 as the latter is used by AGP driver.

On my laptop (i82865P based) ACPI code is disabling this device
again in \_SB.PCI0._CRS method (called at least at PNP init time).
This can be easily worked around by patching DSDT.
