PCI slots have 4 interrupts (#A, #B, #C, #D). In machines with
multiple slots, the interrupts lines are "swizzled", to avoid that all cards
using a single interrupt are mapped to the same host interrupt.

Typically, the mapping is:

    host_irq = bus_irqs[(slot + irq_pin) % 4];

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
