I changed the irq assignment like (to take the lowest
available/non-conflicting IRQ):
--- a/drivers/acpi/pci_link.c
+++ b/drivers/acpi/pci_link.c
@@ -557,7 +557,7 @@ static int acpi_pci_link_allocate(struct
* the use of IRQs 9, 10, 11, and >15.
*/
for (i = (link->irq.possible_count - 1); i >= 0; i--) {
- if (acpi_irq_penalty[irq] >
+ if (acpi_irq_penalty[irq] >=
acpi_irq_penalty[link->irq.possible[i]])
irq = link->irq.possible[i];
}


And with this change it works _without_ acpi=noirq.

Does it help somehow?

dmesg then shows a difference like:

00:07: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
