And they are actually wrong in the general case. What happens is that the system boots up in a kinda compatability mode where the PCI interrupts are routed to the ISA interrupt sources. However, once the APIC is started, this routing stops instantly - we don't have to implement anything, the IRQ is now free by the hardware. It is now is quite useable by some other ISA device, perhaps via PnP or by selecting an interrupt via the IO registers. I'm pretty sure the message was left out of Steve's caution.
