Ah, ok, so this is just another x86-bug, and there should really be no
major problem in rectifying it, and all the code should already be in
setup-pci.c. We just need to find some way to detect that we are also in
this case. Could this not be probed somehow ? In which case are the irq
numbers the same ? Only when the via driver is on a stansalone pci card ?

Ok, the main point would be to fins the tidy way for doing this.
