This came up a year or so ago, so maybe things have changed, but at that time
the VirtualPC docs claimed it emulated an Intel Triton chipset, but it was discovered
it didn't emulate the PCI config registers in that chipset. This matters on Plan9
because it does raw accesses to probe the PCI space whereas other operating systems
do BIOS calls to obtain that information.
