Yes.

Kinda, but ideally you describe it in a way that there is context for
the reader. Like this:

  The fixed mapping between the LS7A interrupt source and the HT
  interrupt vector prevents the utilization of the full interrupt vector
  space which limits the number of devices in a system

  Replace the fixed mapping with a dynamic mapping which allocates a
  vector when an interrupt source is set up. This avoids that unused
  sources prevent vectors from being used for other devices.

See?
