Hmm. My a45 UARTs are the only ones with a pci level triggered interrupt:
Nov 7 01:48:44 gamplex kernel: ioapic0: Routing IRQ 5 -> intpin 19
Nov 7 01:48:44 gamplex kernel: ioapic0: intpin 5 disabled
Nov 7 01:48:44 gamplex kernel: ioapic0: intpin 19 trigger: level
Nov 7 01:48:44 gamplex kernel: ioapic0: intpin 19 polarity: active-lo
There is only one other level triggered interrupt the system that is
used:
Nov 7 01:48:44 gamplex kernel: ioapic0: Routing IRQ 11 -> intpin 18
Nov 7 01:48:44 gamplex kernel: ioapic0: intpin 11 disabled
Nov 7 01:48:44 gamplex kernel: ioapic0: intpin 18 trigger: level
Nov 7 01:48:44 gamplex kernel: ioapic0: intpin 18 polarity: active-lo
and I suspect it may be doing strange things too: I found that rev.1.23
of ata_lowlevel.c broke atapicam, but the new interrupt code magically
fixed it. One of the atapicam devices is the only device on IRQ11.
