I'm still moderately unhappy that all this code is written with the
apparent assumption that there is only *one* IRQ# which is the target
for a given INTx, when in fact it gets routed to that pin# on the
legacy PIC and a potentially *different* pin# on the I/O APIC.

But you aren't making that worse, so
