Sorry to followup myself. After some playing with the pirq=
commandline arg, i finally got it working. The following message
from Ingo Molnar pointed me towrds the right direction:

So the following argument works for me:
pirq=0,0,0,0,15,9,10,11

$ cat /proc/interrupts
CPU0 CPU1
0: 1655284 0 XT PIC timer
1: 2355 2045 IO-APIC keyboard
2: 0 0 XT PIC cascade
8: 0 0 IO-APIC parport0
9: 23742 23561 IO-APIC 3c905 Boomerang 100baseTx
11: 21 21 IO-APIC aic7xxx
12: 46059 48963 IO-APIC PS/2 Mouse
13: 4 0 XT PIC fpu
15: 44396 44628 IO-APIC aic7xxx
NMI: 0
IPI: 0

Everything works quite nice so far. Only the mouse seems to behave
a bit random under X11 (it sometimes jumps on the screen when
button 1 is depressed).
