Hi all,

I'm posting yet another WIP patch. Still no progress on SATA, powernow-k8 and
slow SPI access (slow boot when executing from flash). I did not try VGA yet.

Other stuff works fine: IDE, USB, PCI slots, serial, ACPI, APIC, network.

This patch (compared to older WIP patch) adds support for the integrated network
adapter without any external configuration flash plus it programs the chipset to
handle the LDTSTOP signal, so the CPU is switched to maxFID/maxVID - but
frequency changes are not working in Linux yet.

The network address is "00:00:DE:AD:BE:EF" as default. PHY has addr 1 as
recommended.

I need to ask VIA for some details. Will do that soon.

Rudolf
