When I do something with CONFIG_PCI_OPTIMZE, I'll fix up the
documentation entries.

Definitely for which? I'm in favour of just the one CONFIG_PCI_QUIRKS
at the moment. If the number of quirks was to grow in the future, then
individual options could be added when (or if) it became necessary.
(The number of quirks would have to grow hugely to make a significant
difference to the size of the on-disk kernel. Since the code is in
__initfuncs, it doesn't affect a running kernel.)

Good.
I have an Intel Venus MB, with the relevant PCI chipset, and an AMI
BIOS, and I don't have the problem. I got the machine around october
'96, so presumably AMI had sorted it out by then.
