This isn't fully consistent with the just released documentation:

- for model 0x17, you reject steppings below 4 (doc says all steppings qualify)
- for model 0x1a, you reject steppings up to 2 (doc says all steppings qualify)
- you don't allow model 0x1f at all (doc says it qualifies)

In a patch I'll submit (presumably) later today I'll leave the stepping
handling as is, but include model 0x1f as per the documentation. It
would be nice if you could clarify matters.

Thanks, Jan
