Can this be expanded a bit to give a better hint *which* Intel chipsets support
this? I just spent an honest 10 minutes looking around that website, and am no
clearer on whether the 82801I in my laptop supports this.  Having a line like
"server chipsets XY948 and later and ICH10 and later" or similar would be a big
help to all those who hit this when it goes into the tree.
