Thanks for clarifying the changelog as far as the different chips and
the different bugzillas.

But you haven't addressed my concerns about (1) putting a PCI vendor
ID check in the generic PCI core code, and (2) applying this to *all*
JMicron devices.  You might want to explore a quirk-type solution or
maybe just add the JMicron 368 to the checks added by e6b7e41cdd8c.
