You can do 2) by recompiling a new kernel and replacing the "irq 0" with a free IRQ or if you boot with the -c flag into configuration mode (command line, for some reason you can't set the IRQ in visual mode). I've only done the compile-new-kernel method as I'm compiling a new kernel for other reasons ("vn", for one). If you are running -CURRENT, sorry, I don't know.
