The VRAM probing for the KM400/KM400A/P4M800 (chipset id 0x7205) will
fail when on the P4M800 variant because it's using a different host
bridge and then the VRAM needs to be read from another register. The
chipset to host bridge mapping seems to be 1:1 in all but this case.
The VRAM probing is broken in this case too for UMS, but it might worths
fixing it right from the start for KMS.
There's a bug filed for this issue :
http://www.openchrome.org/trac/ticket/177

See
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~libv/xf86-video-unichrome/tree/src/via_host.c
for a host bridge probing implementation.
