seeing as how this mailing list is for braindamaged i386 hardware my statement
still stands. :)  maybe we should change the name of this mailing list to
port-brain-dead-i386-junk@netbsd.org :)

but you do have a good point, shared IRQs aren't a bad idea, they are just a
bad idea on the x86 architectures.
