Hi Songmao,
The internal PCI devices are virtualized. The VSA2 SMI handler does the 
virtualization. It links the virtual BAR to real hardware registers so 
programmers don't need to do the proprietary setup (LBARS). It is fairly 
complicated if you are interested in how VSA2 does this you can find the 
source here: http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=geode-vsa;a=summary .

The msrinit table is setting up the 0x01 MSR registers in the cs5536 
that set the coherency and prefetch settings.

So, try look for LBAR_ in the databook and you will find the 
trap/routing that get setup to match the PCI BAR.
I hope this helps.
Marc
