Subject: [PATCH] geode:  Add a VSA2 ID for General Software

We have learned from bitter experience that one of the Geode BIOS vendors,
General Software, uses a different ID for their VSA implementation then
the canonical version from AMD & Insyde.  This patch adds the ID to the
have_geode_vsa2() check, and should make lxfb work again on many GSW
platforms.  If Linus is planning another -rcX revision it would be good
to try and get this in, otherwise please schedule this for the stable
series and 2.6.27.

Thanks,
Jordan
