The device matching that you're doing follows what was also done in 
commit 7184f5b451cf3dc61de79091d235b5d2bba2782d for an ACS quirk on the 
same chipsets.

I'm just curious if the issue is a more universal Intel one and 
can/should be resolved with a pci quirk as opposed to inside an 
individual driver.
