These are all PCI chip sets, so "pcisupport.c" is your friend :)

But I'd rather add some code to intialize some variables accordingly
to the PCI code, than have the SMP code decode the PCI chip set ID 
again. There should be only one place, where PCI chip set specific
code has to be maintained, IMHO.
