how about ioapic interrupt numbers...? they should stay with same
numbering with gsi?

and how about pci segments : that will need another 4 bits for AMD
systems..aka 16 segments..

you will run out of 32bits...

BTW:
kstat_irqs patch is there.
How are the progress with irq_cfg/irq_desc dyn allocating patch?
