should be.

according to my experience with LinuxBIOS. AMD chipset, nvidia and serverworks (broadcom)

the host bridges is on AMD CPUs,

one HT chain could have some HT devices, HT devices could be HT tunnel or HT bridge.

If it is HT tunnel, the next device will use same primary pci bus number with some addon device number.
It it is HT bridge, will like some kind pci-to-pci bridge.

link between KT890 and vt32551? is some kind va-link? it is not HT between them

somehow the southbridge vt32551 respond the sound_intel from 80:01.0... and it is supposed to be under some pci bridge.
