Verified. Calling acpi_register_gsi() does also fix the
problem with the on-board via-rhine nic.

Linus, one thing to note regarding your assumption about
the usb-controllers which I forgot to mention:

<LT>However, it would be interesting to know if you've tried the
<LT>USB controllers at all? It sounds like _none_ of those should
<LT>work either..

You were right with this assumption for kernel 2.6.10-rc2-bk8.
Without the above on-liner neither the usb controllers nor the
on-board-nic did work on 2.6.10-rc2-bk8. But they _did_ work on
2.6.12-vanilla _without_ having to call acpi_register_gsi() or
eisa_set_level_irq() directly.
