Looks ok, I'll have a quick look through though, as we have some weirdo
stuff on some PowerMacs with both PCI/PCI-E and HT off the north bridge
who need different values behind those different segments (for strange
reasons). IIRC, We get away because we never enable MWI on these (ie, I
don't think your patch can cause a regression either way), but I suppose
it would be good if I double checked.

If you don't hear from me mid next week, assume I forgot and merge it,
I'll deal with the consequences :-)

Cheers,
Ben.
