I saw some bad latency behaviour on a new system, it is a
P4 with ICH7 chipset. It showed  more than 300 us max. latency without any 
load.
This chipset was not detected as SMI generating and SMI disable was not done.

Finally I figured out where to add this DEVICE_ID
to the SMI detection in smi.c
It is done in the attached patch.

Now, the max. latency values on this new system are below 10 us.
Although, not tested very long.

Regards,
Ulrich Schwab
