Natalie Protasevich c434b7a6ae [PATCH] x86: avoid wasting IRQs for PCI devices 
I have submitted the patch for x86_64, this is submission for i386.

The patch changes the way IRQs are handed out to PCI devices.  Currently,
each I/O APIC pin gets associated with an IRQ, no matter if the pin is used
or not.  This imposes severe limitation on systems that have designs that
employ many I/O APICs, only utilizing couple lines of each, such as P64H2
chipset.  It is used in ES7000, and currently, there is no way to boot the
system with more that 9 I/O APICs.

The simple change below allows to boot a system with say 64 (or more) I/O
APICs, each providing 1 slot, which otherwise impossible because of the IRQ
gaps created for unused lines on each I/O APIC.  It does not resolve the
problem with number of devices that exceeds number of possible IRQs, but
eases up a tension for IRQs on any large system with potentually large
number of devices.
