"The legacy IDE is using IRQ 14 or 15 not PCI"
This is half correct - V-Link is not involved in this case, however the legacy IRQs are configurable and steerable via func 0 reg 0x4C for some chips. If this has been set by a weirdass bios (bits 3-0 not 0x0100 for the 8233C varies for others) then we've never supported it.
I have full IRQ routing info for some of the VIA chips and it varies by chip how this all works.
The 8233/8233C routes via register 0x4C/0x4D of function 0 for internal devices and via 0x55->0x57 (polarities on 0x54) for PCI interrupts. The devices use the IRQ number not line. Also to add fun the 8233C has a 3com nic part that does this...
There are then a seperate set of register mappings for SCI and for ISA IRQ mapping.
There is an errata with the internal devices of the 8235 and earlier which can be used to detect them fairly well. Only the low four bits of 0ffset 0x3C are writable not the full IRQ value.
Some later chips use bits to indicate PIC v APIC routing.
