Here I have ASUS A8V Deluxe (VIA K8T800Pro + VT8237), and cannot
reproduce the problem in a "normal" way (even when booting with
"acpi=off noapic"), but I have some evidence that a problem really
exists.

VT8237 contains this AC97 controller:

The device ID is 1106:3059 - it is not included in the list for
quirk_via_irq().  However, I have tried to boot with "noapic", and by
trying to change the INTERRUPT_LINE register with setpci have confirmed
that this register is used to set up interrupt routing.  In APIC mode
this register has no effect on VT8237.

We may just add 1106:3059 to the list of PCI IDs which need
quirk_via_irq().  However, is this really a proper solution?  What
exactly was broken with the original quirk code, which was applied to
all VIA devices - just a wrong printk, or some real breakage?
