Thinking about this further, if multiple drivers are compiled in, I'm
not sure what we'd set the vendorid/deviceid in the PCI header to.
This isn't an issue for qemu as it modifies the rom to match the ids
when deploying it.  However, on coreboot, seabios wont run the rom
unless the ids match.  So, should a geode user select both geode
types, it wont actually work.  I'm not sure how to fix that.
