      Dan suggested that we look at what IRQ the hotplug controller has been
      assigned in the MPS table. If its < 0x10 we're in legacy/mapped mode.
      That would probaly work

      Yes. All hot-added adapters get legacy IRQs like IRQ5 in the example
      below where eth2 was added after bootup:

      I attached a patch that does the legacy mode check that Dan suggested
      and IRQs for hot-added adapters seems to be given out in the APIC range.
