It can be replaced if you can desolder a 352 contact BGA chip. I don't
know of anyone who does.

Also, the vt82c686 will work just fine with Linux, but will be limited
to UDMA33, because UDMA66 on this chip does reliably fail.

Furthermore, these chips are very rare - I don't know anyone owning one.
