EPIA, vt8231: southbridge_init not being called?

With the log level up at 8, I have confirmed that my via/epia build is
not calling southbridge_init to set up the vt8231. I have confirmed
that the code from vt8231.c, is in the binary, it's just not getting
invoked. With the exception of enabling the serial console and boosting
the log level, my target Config.lb, mainboard Config.lb and Options.lb
files are identical to those in CVS (copied below).
Can anybody point me at some likely places to dive in and figure out
why the build is putting this code in the LB binary, but it's not
getting called at run time?
I believe this is the reason that once control is passed off to the
payload (filo), it can't see any ide devices. I'm working my way
through the config/build/boot paths, trying to understand how the config
tool uses the Config.lb and Options.lb files to assemble the build tree,
but it's really slow going. It's a very cool system that has been put
together, but like all cool systems that do hard stuff, it's got a
pretty serious learning curve.... 8^)=
Thanks!
