The interrupt_line register doesn't affect the card in any way, it's
there for information purposes only. The BIOS sets this register so
that drivers know which interrupt to use.

To change the interrupt routing, you have to reprogram some registers
of the PCI controller (starting at 60h in Intel's ICHx southbridges
IIRC, but read Intel's datasheet first). And I don't know if the
kernel is able to realize that the interrupt has changed.
