That is true.  All legacy devices have to send interrupts to IOMMU via IOAPIC. 
So even we use per-device table. All devices attached to the same IOAPIC will 
use the same interrupt table. There should be no vector collisions. 
Per-device table only makes sense for MSI devices or systems with multiple 
IOAPICs.

Thanks
