Hi Bjorn,

thanks for the patch, a couple of notes below:

Yep, what Stephane said, this is not HSW only.

And because it is not HSW only, this PCI device ID doesn't match on my
IVB system. On mine the hostbridge is

00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor DRAM Controller (rev 09)
        Subsystem: Lenovo Device 21fa
        Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx-

        Capabilities: <access denied>
        Kernel driver in use: ivb_uncore
00: 86 80 54 01 06 00 90 20 09 00 00 06 00 00 00 00
10: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
20: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 aa 17 fa 21
30: 00 00 00 00 e0 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

and from looking at Dave's, it is the same one, so PCI device ID is
0x154.

With that changed to

	host = pci_get_device(PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL, 0x0154, NULL);

and a bit of debugging code, it says now:

[    0.235739] quirk_intel_haswell_mch: entry
[    0.235800] quirk_intel_haswell_mch: got host: 0x0
[    0.235860] quirk_intel_haswell_mch: mch: [mem 0xfed10000-0xfed17fff]
[    0.235930] quirk_intel_haswell_mch: res: [mem 0xfed10000-0xfed13fff]
[    0.235990] pnp 00:01: [Firmware Bug]: [mem 0xfed10000-0xfed13fff] covers only part of Intel Haswell MCH; extending to [mem 0xfed10000-0xfed17fff]

So you probably want to have a list of hostbridge pci ids in the quirk
or so.

Thanks.
