To do Intel MP properly Im going to need to change the request_irq() code to require you pass in both a bus number and an interrupt source. I guess for ISA something like
request_irq(blah... get_isa_bus_id(),... blah)
In PCI the bus number info is directly available. We have to do this as in full MP mode we bypass the bios rigged AT bus 8259 faked wirings and do things for real. Also bigger MP machines really do have more than 1 PCI bus.
Anyone in the "non intel" architecture camp with similar needs that mean this isnt the right solution ?
