cat /proc/interrupts may yield some information on which pin the
second NIC is connected to. The distance between the interrupt numbers
for eth0 and eth1 should be the same as between eth0 GPIO and eth1
GPIO. In particular they may be using the same GPIO with the two
signals being ORed or ANDed, or other combination, this can be done in
qemu too.
