Yes, but that would require a much bigger change that what's currently
presented here, and for backport purposes I think it's better done
this way for fixing this specific bug.

Changing to use pin# as the IR offset is worthwhile, but IMO needs to
be done separated from the bugfix here.

Aren't there IO-APICs with more than 24 pins?

Thanks, Roger.
