pcm0 and nfe0 share irq23:

    lizzy:~% vmstat -i
    interrupt                          total       rate
    irq1: atkbd0                      107296          0
    irq6: fdc0                             1          0
    irq12: psm0                       563936          1
    irq22: atapci2                   5293281         11
    irq23: pcm0 nfe0                 1225731          2
    cpu0: timer                    947413237       2000
    Total                          954603482       2015
    lizzy:~% 

Both pcm0 and nfe0 are mobo devices. Is there any way to change the assigned
interrupts?
