thought it was hard wired.
the wiring into the IO-APIC is board-level, but the IO-APIC is
programmable and thus you can change the actual IRQ that the device
generates, in theory.
But at this point, the interrupt lines from onboard and external PCI
devices are already merged, so changing the IRQ would just move
both devices.
When an onboard device and a PCI card conflict, you have to move the
card to another slot (or, better, to fix the driver(s)).
