Ok Linus this should do the trick and is tested on the chipsets I have.
There are two patches here. The first reverses the broken PCI_DEVICE
conversion back to the old format. The second adds a missing PCI ID so you can actually boot 2.6.18 on 2 month old VIA motherboards (right now only
2.6.18-mm works).

Two totally separate issues should be two totally separate patches.

For the first:
* just add the missing zeroes. No need to revert PCI_DEVICE() usage.

For the second:
* the sata_via PCI ID has been queued for 2.6.19 for quite a while. I don't see a hugely pressing need for it to be in 2.6.18, but it's not a big deal to me.
