I don't know what it is for, but I think it's XFree86's business anyway.

I'm not so sure.  It would be interesting to see if adding the ID to
auich(4) makes it work.  I do know that the AC-97 chip in the ICH6
changed, but I don't know (haven't looked closely at it) in what
extent.  I made the BCM5751 work and added the IDE/SATA IDs because
I needed them, but now the computer is in prod, and of course I don't
use sound on it.
