The latest io-apic patch is working perfectly for me on my Gigabyte
GA586dx board.

"pirq=0" (autodetect)

Formerly I could only use the apic by forcing all the PCI devices to use
the same IRQ which caused problems with scsi/ethernet under heavy load.

No PS/2 mouse problems under 'X', the machine seems stable.
