Yup. But you did not like me: trying to put it IO-APIC-level. That will solve
everything.

This is possible too. I did sent him my patch too, so he can try out. But:
he isn't receiving ANY interrupts for that card. So it can't be wrong handling.
So I suggested him only to put on xtpic=irq,irq (that's how the patch is used).
As you report success. I have success too, and so a couple others too. I'll
wait another few days, and than I'll take it up with mingo (at least I believe
he's the maintainer, but I'll look for that).

That's to say,... it can be BIOS too! (BIOS is not realy hardware, but it
comes close enough to 'modify' hardware to the buggy side if it's buggy
itself...)
