I remember check my emails that I send to Len Brown about this subject.
And I found, what I want, is just revert one patch of Bjorn Helgaas :)
between kernel 2.6.12-rc5 and 6.13.

It does look like this patch was under discussion of being reverted before. See http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/9/26/183

The following comment still stands when we just revert Bjorn's change:

I'm reasonably certain that this patch will apply the quirks on the affected systems again, so I'm happy for it to be applied, people will be able to use their hardware again. However I'm not sure how good a solution it is, because in some circumstances it will apply the quirks to VIA PCI cards on non-VIA boards, which was the reason we messed with this code in the first place. We could possibly merge it with the southbridge detection hack, but it gets a bit silly at that point...

So perhaps the best solution is a combination of reverting Bjorn's patch, adding Linus' suggested change, and adding my southbridge hack.
