Right, thanks for the reminder.  I actually have quirk code to do this 
but it wasn't enabled since I wanted to find an actual test case before 
turning it on.  Adam, please recompile with the attached patch.  Also, 
send me pciconf -l.  The patch will disable C3 and you should only get 
C1/C2 if your system is truly a PIIX4.

Thanks,
Nate
