I was looking at the i386 ACPI early quirk code and x86_64 equivalent

the one for various PCI bridges.  Nvidia might release some kind of
PCI card with an embedded bridge that would break this code, for
example.  I made this patch but I can't test it:

It's wrong. On AMD K8 systems the host bridge is always from
AMD because the Northbridge is part of the CPU.

Hmmm... no.

The Athlon64 machines has an external host bridge. You can look the
ATI Host Bridge in the first line of lspci.
