Don't know if this will help you any further, but. After some trouble 
with IRQ sharing mayhem we solved our little problem by tinkering the 
linux kernel. I forgot the names of the actual modules, but after 
disabling modules for APIC support and something about IRQ sharing or 
APIC-IO or such, we effectively disables the APIC from handling IRQ's. 
I'm not so sure that disabling the APIC only from the BIOS setup will do 
it (it did not in our 'MSI'-case). We had to disble the APIC from within 
the BIOS setup also, otherwise our system crashed at boot. After doing 
so our /proc/interrupt didn't show any 'IO-APIC-level' and 
'IO-APIC-edge' containing lines but only 'XT-PIC' containing lines. 
After that, our TDM04B allways got it's own IRQ and the mayhem never 
returned.

If you're in real nead of those module names, let me know. I've got some 
notes somewhere at the bottom of the 3 feet tall pile besides my desk 
that says 'To be examned further someday'
