Oops.  Missed this part.  The problem again is that the kernel doesn't 
know about this.  At least it knows it only to a point.  It knows
which IRQs are in use, but it doesn't know if the pcic (or cardbus
bridge in compat mode) can route to a given free irq.

For cardbus bridges, we can at least ask the PCI BIOS, so much relief
will come there.  For old pcic devices that aren't plug and play, we
have almost no hope...
