Arghh.. userconfig needs to do a better sanity check on irq values, set
it to 9 not to 2.

There is now... I just looked at userconfig.c and see that the sanity
check for irq's is very minimal (it simply check that it is < 16, it
should really should check and remap irq 2 to irq 9 or complain loadly
that irq 2 is not a valid value, see code in config(8)).
