    [PATCH] x86: avoid wasting IRQs patch update · e1afc3f5
    Natalie.Protasevich@unisys.com authored
    The patch addresses a problem with ACPI SCI interrupt entry, which gets
    re-used, and the IRQ is assigned to another unrelated device.  The patch
    corrects the code such that SCI IRQ is skipped and duplicate entry is
    avoided.  Second issue came up with VIA chipset, the problem was caused by
    original patch assigning IRQs starting 16 and up.  The VIA chipset uses
    4-bit IRQ register for internal interrupt routing, and therefore cannot
    handle IRQ numbers assigned to its devices.  The patch corrects this
    problem by allowing PCI IRQs below 16.
