This addresses the issue 100%!

Due to the differences between the ICH8 non-mobile and mobile
variants, I've cooked the change into a new initialisation structure
for the ICH8M in the attached patch, if that helps at all.

The changes thus affect (correct) behaviour on the ICH8M in IDE mode
only...so should be safe for inclusion. There may be a similar
situation with ICH9Ms also.

Thanks once again to all who helped!
