yes, thanks for the correction. You are right.
I was staring at arch/ia64/kernel/iosapic.c...only it has ISA support.

That has nothing to do with using a global IRQ array.
It just means LASI subdevices can't be redirected individually.
They will still be assigned a global IRQ number.
PCI devices using IRQ lines below DINO will have the same problem.
Ditto for E/ISA support under WAX.
thanks for the correction,
