For intel 865 motherboards

[observer <obs...@mo...>]

Hi
After a lot of trouble i was able to make ruby work perfectly with an
intel 865gbf and 865perl motherboards, this was after apliying this
patch to the kernel:

 }

What i've found is that this fix was intended for the first motherboards
with this pci bridges but (i845 i think) but it seems in newer
motherboards the problem has changed, this also solved a problem with a
Davicom 21x4x ethernet card and some non ruby dual x configurations, of
course with such a complicated patch there is a chance that some system
burn in flames, but i hope someone more qualified can give a better
solution.
Hope this helps someone.
