Message:

Allow force and force_via686a parameters. Driver will take the

address and program the base address in the 686a.
This is NOT a PCI force; the 3057 device must
be present in lspci.
Should work for Asus A7V/K7V boards which don't set the
base address (because they also have a as99127f on them!??).
Some rough edges remain, because
via686a_find() does not know there is a force; that only
is apparent to via686a_detect().
Notably, the driver will stay loaded even if the address is
uninitialized and there is no force; also, the driver complains
that a force is needed even when you give it one.

    21 none 
     21force=9191,address      Set the I/O base address. Useful for Asus A7V boards that 
     22                        don't set the address in the BIOS. Does not do a PCI 
     23                        force; the via686a must still be present in lspci. 
     24                        Don't use this unless the driver complains that the 
     25                        base address is not set. Otherwise the driver will 
     26                        recognize both the old and the forced address. 
     27 
     28force_via686a=9191,address      Same as force.
