I've written a completely new version for IBM based on the response that 
implements this as a pci quirk (to tag the chipset, not the device).

However IBM has spotted an issue due to firmware hiding the id for linux of the 
bridge involved (on pseries), and they're working on an alternative to fix that.

So, the patch will look different, and I'll post it as soon as we have a version 
for both pseries and xseries that works.
