The 'irq' value is really only for reference in ioapic mode, you
can ignore it for all practical purposes.

Also, the interrupt code is virtually the same between amd64 and
i386, so I don't think it's an interrupt sharing issue. The
missing interrupts you report seem to come from devices that do
not even share a line, too.

I'm not sure what causes this. Perhaps you can try using MPACPI
instead of MPBIOS and see if that gives a different configuration.
