Sounds OK, but given that it's a multi-boot machine, I can't assign
anything to those interrupts, as that would cause a conflict under
the crap from Redmond. It would be handy to know what the IRQ settings
are on a card, even if it's not currently being used by linux. Thus,
/proc/interrupts might say something like:
[...]
5 WD-8003
7 parallel port (unused)
[...]
Is this even possible? (the cards in question are mostly old ISA non-PnP,
with jumper settings for IRQ/base address).
