INTR can mux M interrupt inputs to N interrupt outputs.
One selects which interrupt input is outputted on the given interrupt
output.
It is perfectly valid (but not sane) to select the same interrupt input
to be routed to _all_ interrupt output for example.

Not sure if we are going to use this for anything but 1:1 mapping, but
might worth keeping in mind...
