Umm, you *configure* the PCIC controller to interrupt wherever you want
it to.  It's not hard-coded like an ISA card, but completely
programmable.  Just because Windoze chose to program it to IRQ 11
doesn't mean it must be an IRQ 11.

Sure.  It should 'just work' assuming there isn't any hardware
hard-wired to a particular IRQ that FreeBSD doesn't know about.

Same difference.
