Right.

It's not that we are changing the IRQ, it's just that we now
do the ACPI routing at the time the driver claims the device,
rather than doing all the ACPI routing at boot-time.  The
old strategy messed with IRQs that might never be used (which
broke some things), and also didn't work for hot-plug PCI
root bridges.

Back to my original question, do you have a device that
only works when you use "pci=routeirq"?  If so, what is
it and what driver does it use?
