So it's imo silly that we're leaking the pch_id to our code when we
already have pch_type, but oh well.

Anyway, this is all about the physical pch on the chip, nothing to do with
the virtualized one, and we've been hard-coding these forever.

Afaiui if this isn't true on a machine, someone used a solder iron to
build something that Intel doesn't sell.
