deeply a year or so back, and basically the kernel picks up the IO-APIC
routings and does not modify them, even with the many flags that appear
to be related to possibly modifying them :( there is a really cool perl
script that actually analyses IO-APIC routings via the /proc filesystem,
and it confirmed for me what i was worried about.
if your BIOS doesn't allow it, you're out of luck *AFAIK*. if i am
wrong, i will be happy to hear more, since i face similar issues on my
laptop.
Has it ever been possible to change the IRQs of onboard devices? I
thought it was hard wired.
