Hi Julian,

The parameters for bus_bind_intr() are not available outside the 
LinuxKPI. To support such a functionality we should wrap it, for the 
sake of maintainability.

The LinuxKPI is not a binary compatibility module, and will at some 
point have API's diverging from Linux, to fit BSD API's better.

There is a plan to use this new function alongside some new network 
drivers which are not yet committed, to support RSS.
