$PIR routing already works on FreeBSD and has worked for quite a while.  The 
patches I have are to make the acpi_pci_link code work more like the $PIR 
code already does.  It doesn't change the ACPI code to actually use $PIR or 
the MPTable though.  I can try to look at why the ethernet device doesn't get 
interrupts correctly if you can provide verbose ACPI and non-ACPI dmesgs to 
look at.
