No, I think the whole notion of a static *numeric* identifier for an IRQ
when it's something like MSI-X is simply pointless. I think we should
assign IRQ numbers beyond the legacy range dynamically.

I really don't think anyone gives a hoot about the IRQ number for any
IRQ above the 0-15 legacy range, even including the "APIC" numbers 16+.
