Yes. Correct. This should be fixed in recent kernels. (from 2.6.11)

Yes see above. It should be good to free the vt8231 from usage of PCI device too:
Like done in this patch:

No, please ask the manufacturer of motherboard.

Aaron,
Have you some more recent version of your driver somewhere (seems you do not)?  I think it would help people if we could get it into mainline.
Thanks,
