The RV635 chip does support HDMI outputs (even if none are actually
connected), so the corresponding PCI device shows up here.

Oops.  Even the latest driver lacks the PCI IDs of many HDMI HDA devices
(aa50/aa58/aa60/aa68/aa80/aa88/aa90/aa98: Cypress/Juniper/Redwood/Cedar/
Cayman+Antilles/Barts/Turks/Caicos).

Alex, are these devices that require disabling snooping?
