The VT82C686 is very different from other devices, because it is
a PCI chip, and its device number is determined by IDSEL wiring.
Google shows that several different assignments are in use:

00:01.0:
http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-embedded/2005-January/016642.html
(but that's PPC)

00:04.0: http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/linux/linux-kernel/2001-36/0083.html
00:05.0: http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/12/11/78
00:07.0: this example and lots of other links
00:14.0: http://forum.freespire.org/showthread.php?t=2998

So this should probably be:

		/*
		 * 82C686 attaches to PCI and can have any device number, but
		 * all its subdevices are functions of that single device.
		 */
		via_vlink_dev_lo = via_vlink_dev_hi = PCI_SLOT(dev->devfn);
