I agree that all onboard device should use the same subsystem id as MB's.
One interesting thing. In PCI Spec 2.2, section 6.2.4 it says that:
Values in these registers must be loaded and valid prioir to the system BIOS or any system software accessing the PCI Coniguration Space. blah,blah, blah. These values must not be loaded using expansion ROM software becuase expansion ROM software is not guaranteed to be run during POST in all systems.
Are we doing something out of spec ?
BTW, why I can't download PCI spec form PCI-SIG anymore ? Even for the 'useless' PCI conventional stuff.
