From the PCI device listings at http://www.yourvote.com/pci

0x8086 / 0x2483 -> SMBus Controller
0x8086 / 0x2485 -> AC97 Audio Controller
0x8086 / 0x2486 -> AC97 Modem Controller

I have all 3 of these unsupported devices on my laptop (running
4.6-RELEASE).  I've heard that some of these are supported in -CURRENT, but
I'm not sure and wouldn't advise running it on your system yet. (It hangs my
laptop on boot.)
