Linux 2.6.17 running on the latest qemu snapshot is unable to route IRQs to more than 4 network interfaces when running without ACPI, and is limited to 2 network interfaces with ACPI enabled.

I did not study the issue yet, but I suspect it is a Bochs BIOS issue (I remember it declares a limited number of PCI slots for example).
IMHO, all the PCI, MP table and ACPI table init should be moved to the Bochs BIOS. I did not do it because it was not strictly necessary to have something that works. A simple way to do that is to copy the relevant QEMU code in a separate section of the Bochs BIOS and to execute it by switching temporarily to 32 bit protected mode in the BIOS init code.
