One thing I spotted last night is that if neither IO-APIC or IO-SAPIC (ia64 
only) are enabled, linux ACPI does no _PRT initialisation.

Your bios (and mine!) both have the following style of entry in the _PRT 
returned in PIC mode:

                Package (0x04)
                {
                    0x0014FFFF,
                    0x00,
                    \_SB.PCI0.ISA.LNKU,
                    0x00
                },

So they definitely *should* have _PRT initialisation done.

This would explain whats happening.. your BIOS is setting up some IRQs as you 
say, but is relying on ACPI to set up the rest. 

Hopefully, this should be fixed by my upcoming PIC mode patch.
