Hi,

Yes good question. Usually OS uses ACPI, or MPTable or what BIOS provided in
the PCI device itself.

It seems because you are asking for the virtual wire mode IOAPIC is not 
supported and legacy PIC mode
maybe needed?

Does this OS configure LINT0 for ExtINT on at least one CPU? (this is how 
virtual wire can be implemented)

Or second way to do that, is to program IO-APIC 0 or 2 depending on chipset to 
ExtInt. This will cause PIC interrupts 
to be delivered to the CPU.

Please note that for PCI devices you also need to program PCI IRQ router and 
ELCR register if you are going to use the PIC mode,

Thanks
Rudolf
