Looking at newer Geode targets, some of the CS5536 systems seem to update the
IRQ steering registers; see write_pirq_routing_table() in
src/mainboard/artecgroup/dbe61/irq_tables.c. I think that block of code could
be adapted to the CS5530. Is it pretty much understood that setting the IRQ
steering registers within that function is the right place?
