Only on architectures which were designed in such a brain dead manner
to have single IRQs for each board. In my good old Amiga all the boards
(IDE and SCSI hostadapter, ethernet, arcnet) shared interrupt 2 and there
weren't any problems because the hardware and software was designed to
work this way.
