Actually, it's not really a problem that can be fixed.  $PIR and the actual 
link devices return different capabilities as far as the list of possible 
IRQs for each link device.  There's not much we can do to fix the fact that 
according to ACPI, links 3 and 4 use IRQs 5 and 6 when $PIR says that neither 
IRQ is valid for either link.
