this applies to every ICH7/VIA magic number. i have not touched them at
all yet and if i do so in the future, i'd prefer to change them all in
one, separate patch.

this applies pretty much to all spew messages then and msg_*spew should
in consequence be a NOP... no of course not.
sure there is no need for it, and yes it makes the binary larger... if
this is really a problem, we should create a makefile switch to disable
spew completely and/or enable some space optimizations in the code.
OTOH i can not name a use case for this right now... so if you insist i
can drop it.

the message should contain the new address though when we keep it (and
maybe even the old value)
what about this?
                msg_pspew("Set BBAR to 0x%08x successfully.\n", min_addr);
