Doesn't IO-APIC work for you or is that what you meant by "virtual" IRQ?
I thought IO-APIC changed the way the APIC worked but it was under OS
control and therefore they could put smaller/simpler/cheaper BIOS in
the raw box.

Please correct me if I'm missing the boat. (I had a sharing problem in
my PowerEdge 1400SC and IO-APIC seemed to fix it up nicely. The server
has been in operation for 6 yrs now with Asterisk running on it for the
past 3).
