Support for via-agp on amd64_architecture

[Rafal Zawadzki]

Hi. I've noticed that support for via-agp exists only in x86_32 architecture. 
I owned the x86_64 box with VIA PT880 Ultra chipset (similar to PT880). I 
removed dependency for x86_32 for this driver and compiled it, but it did not 
help. I see two reasons for that:

1. this driver doesn't work for x86_64 architecture indeed (I am not sure, I 
am not a kernel hacker :-) )
2. this driver works but doesn't detect this chipset (which is possible 
because it is not listed).

In via-agp.c I found:

        /* PT880 */
        {
                .device_id      = PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_PT880,
                .chipset_name   = "PT880",


and I found at lspci -vvvv this:

0000:00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.: Unknown device 0308

Unfortunately I didn't find any documentation about writing agp drivers... 
IMVHO, I should create a similar block for PT880 Ultra with the correct ID. 
Can someone help me? Where I can find this ID? Will it help? I suppose that 
this informations could be find in lspci output, maybe in:
0000:00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.: Unknown device 0308
        Subsystem: Asustek Computer, Inc.: Unknown device 8199

Any help would be appreciated!

Cheers,
