Sorry I used wrong words and should have been clearer. These devices
are validated to be broken. The test I used is very simple, just
unplug the VGA cable and plug it again, and "spurious interrupt" will
be seen on the interrupt line of the IGD device. I was not aware of
any public bugs filed to Intel, nor seen any errata from Intel.

By "current findings" I mean given the IDs we have here, plus previous
one added by Thomas, it's highly possible this VGA BIOS bug exists in
every 1st/2nd/3rd generation Core processors.

It's a pure VGA BIOS bug, not the BIOS bug or _PRT etc. The VGA BIOS
forgot to turn off the interrupt on these devices.
