I don't think that is the cause of the full failure.  IRQ issues are 
real and this needs to be changed.  But, I don't think that is the half 
of the problem.

Interesting.  Makes me wonder what caused the misreporting.  I don't 
want to sound pessimistic and I really think you should contact Digium 
as soon as possible for support on this.  But IME, usually problems of 
this sort are caused by some sort of failing hardware.  It could be 
related to the PCI slot, the card, or something else.

My first troubleshooting steps would include changing the slot, 
re-running lspci to see if anything changed.  If so, you may have a 
dying system board.  I also noted that it is reading the card as a 
bridge rather than a communications controller.  So something is screwed up.

If I could hazard to guess, I think the motherboard may be jumbling 
something relating to that slot.  If that is the case, you may want to 
dig further and see whetehr you want to replace the motherboard.  Also, 
it would be nice if you keep us posted regarding your attempt to solve 
this problem.
