There's no entry in the kernel for this.
Note, if an interrupt is used you can't just remove the driver in the
kernel to free it. You also have to remove the hardware which uses this
interrupt.
For APCI you may have options for this in the BIOS.

If IRQ 9 isn't available for PCMCIA you have to mask it out in your kernel
config.
See 'man options', expecially PCIC_ISA_INTR_ALLOC_MASK.
For example, if you know that IRQ 10 and 11 are free, you want:
options PCIC_ISA_INTR_ALLOC_MASK=0x0c00

It's an interface provided by the BIOS to manage devices.
