[PATCH] 2.6.0-test4 Don't change BIOS allocated IRQs

[Andrew de Quincey]

With the help of Chris Wright testing several failed patches, I've tracked 
down another ACPI IRQ problem. On many systems, the BIOS 
pre-allocates IRQs for certain PCI devices, providing a list of alternate 
possibilities as well.

On some systems, changing the IRQ to one of those alternate possibilities 
works fine. On others however, it really isn't a good idea. As theres no 
way to tell which systems are good and bad in advance, this patch simply 
ensures that ACPI does not change an IRQ if the BIOS has pre-allocated it.
