pci, acpi: reroute PCI interrupt to legacy boot interrupt equivalent



Some chipsets (e.g. intel 6700PXH) generate a legacy INTx when the
IRQ entry in the chipset's IO-APIC is masked (as, e.g. the RT kernel
does during interrupt handling). On chipsets where this INTx generation
cannot be disabled, we reroute the valid interrupts to their legacy
equivalent to get rid of spurious interrupts that might otherwise bring
down (vital) interrupt lines through spurious interrupt detection in
note_interrupt().

This patch benefited from discussions with Alexander Graf, Torsten Duwe,
Ihno Krumreich, Daniel Gollub, Hannes Reinecke. The conclusions we drew
and the patch itself are the authors' responsibility alone.
