I would like to suggest that since LinuxBios has "BIOS" in
the name, that it should allocate IRQs to the various devices
as part of system initialisation, as this appears to be one of
the (de facto) jobs of the BIOS. Every other BIOS does it.
We've thought about what it would take to make Plan 9
do this instead, and generally reached the conclusion
that it would be a Bad Thing.
