I don't know much about the PIR.  ACPI uses a PCI Routing
Table (_PRT).  ACPI supplies a _PRT for every PCI root bridge.
The ACPI PCI root bridge driver (drivers/acpi/pci_root.c)
parses the _PRT when it claims a new bridge (see the
acpi_pci_root_add() -> acpi_pci_irq_add_prt() path).

There is no convenient user-space mechanism to get the
_PRT.  The _PRT is stored in the DSDT, which you *can*
get, via /proc/acpi/dsdt.  But then you have to disassemble
the DSDT and parse the _PRT yourself.  I.e., you would do
something like "cp /proc/acpi/dsdt dsdt; iasl -d dsdt;
cat dsdt.dsl".

You can get iasl here:
