Wait, I think this is actually (just) the southbridge, the Super I/O is
probably another chip. Please check this screenshot:

The chip in the lower-right corner should be the Super I/O, which is
probably a Winbond W83627EHG-A. The manual for the mainboard seems to
suggest the same, see screenshot on page 65 of this PDF:
ftp://dlsvr03.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socket939/A8N-VMCSM/e2294_a8n-vm_csm.pdf

If this is the case, it's probably easy to get the Super I/O working.
According to
http://www.winbond.com/e-winbondhtm/partner/_Computer_SIO_LPCSIO4DS.htm
the W83627EHG is compatible with the W83627HG which is in turn
compatible with the W83627HF, which is supported by LinuxBIOS :)


HTH, Uwe.
