Quick and dirty patch to use the 16 vectors that appear to have
fallen through the cracks. This also is useful for older CPUs that
have serial APICS: P54C, P6, P2, P3, K5, K6, etc. They can benefit
from the extra vector space to hash the IRQs.
I suppose I could have started at 0x20 instead of 0x21. The extra
level probably would more than compensate for having to skip 0x80 on
the initial allocations.
