Alan, is this explanation sufficient to ACK this patch? (Thanks
Sergei for digging it out.)

Jeff, would it be possible to queue patches #01-15 for 2.6.39 if there
are no further concerns with them (thus leaving the merging of
PIIX-like drivers for later)? They got additional testing on ICH4 and
they look mostly safe & straight-forward compared to #16-21.

Thanks,
Bartlomiej
