Jaroslav,
This patch is a first approximation to the above problem, can U look it over?
Basically, it discards any unusable IO_APIC IRQs from the list of IRQs that
ISA PNP is trying to allocate from - but only if IO_APIC IRQs are available.
This works for none APIC systems as well since io_apic_irqs s/b zero if
APIC's don't exist.
Comments?
