Andre please explain... I don't understand what is bad....

There was:
                host = pci_find_device (PCI_VENDOR_ID_VIA,
                                        ApolloHostChipInfo[i].host_id,
                                        NULL);

So Irongate wasn't even found. It was intentionally? If so where's the
comment?

It should work. I don't have Irongate. That's why I posted patch on lkml.

Yep. My patch doesn't change this behaviour...

I supposed this, but there was no comment.
It is the right way to have unnecessary data in kernel for weeks?
Shouldn't you add this table when they vary?
