You changes all mb config for AMD/Iwill/IBM....that took some time.

If there is on board scsi, I want to set subsystem id, I need to put that in
Config.lb?

I have managed to get another chunk of merging and bug fixing
done tonight.

I now have pci subsystem vendor and subsystem id's being set on
the arima hdama, so the board is now identifiable with lspci.

I have bumped the LinuxBIOS minor version so we can track
these changes.

All of the superio chips should not work or at least be very close
except the weird via superio/pci hybrid that I could not make sense
of.

I have changed all of the references to chip_control to chip_operations.
And fixed up the usage while I was in the neighborhood if I could clearly
see what the fix should be.  So Config.lb for most of the Opteron ports
should work, or at least be very close now.

It is time for me to break off and head home.

Or more likely src/mainboarod/???/???/Options.lb

src/devices/pci_device.c:pci_dev_enable_resources()
calls dev->ops->pci_ops->set_subsystem() when the device 
dev->on_mainboard is true.  In turn config.g sets that
in static.c for all devices in the static tree.

I believe those are the correct semantics.  That the subsystem is
essentially an identifier for the board the chips are sitting on.

The values are come from:
Look at MAINBOARD_PCI_SUBSYSTEM_VENDOR_ID and MAINBOARD_SUBSYSTEM_DEVICE_ID.

So for the onboard scsi case you likely need to have a driver for
the onboard scsi device that implements the set_subsystem method
because there is not a generic way of doing that.
