Is there any way to reorganize or reassign IRQs on modern motherboards?
On my 'little' home-/labs's server box one of the SATA II controllers of
the nForce4 is sharing IRQ with another device (can't remember, sorry)
and ehci() is shared with the nve()/nfe() nForce4 NIC. I remember myself
of sophisticated BIOSes (TYAN, e.g.) where someone could assign IRQs to
each PCI-X slot.
