PCI oddness with Ali 1541 chipset

Hi,

I'm running 2.4.0-test10 on my desktop machine. The system works
perfectly well, but I get some strange PCI messages at boot time. Here
is part it:

  PCI: PCI BIOS revision 2.10 entry at 0xf0560, last bus=1
  PCI: Using configuration type 1
  PCI: Probing PCI hardware
  Unknown bridge resource 0: assuming transparent
  Unknown bridge resource 1: assuming transparent
  Unknown bridge resource 2: assuming transparent
  PCI: Using IRQ router ALI [10b9/1533] at 00:07.0

I don't know what kind of bridge resources these are. A little bit
furthur, the IDE controller gets detected:

  ALI15X3: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 78
  PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 00:0f.0. Please try using pci=biosirq.
  ALI15X3: chipset revision 193

I tried "pci=biosirq", but that didn't make any difference. I don't
know if this is related with the unknown bridge resources earlier.

After booting, the IDE controller uses IRQ 14 and 15, but lscpi says
that the IDE controller has pin A routed to IRQ 0. What's going wrong
over here, or is this just normal behaviour?

Short description of the system: K6-II@333MHz, 160MB memory, Asus P5A
motherboard (Ali 1541 chipset), Debian GNU/Linux 2.2. I attached the
config file, the boot messages, and the output of "lspci -vvvx".
