Daniel,

Thank you for this immensely helpful information.

If this dynamic interrupt mapping is the main thing I'm losing by using 
intremap=off, then I'm not too concerned because I currently do not plan on 
changing any of the laptop's hardware. 

However, if I *were* to change some hardware in the future (e.g., RAM upgrade 
or new hard drive), the laptop would obviously be off so presumably I wouldn't 
need *dynamic* interrupt remapping. Would Libreboot see the new hardware during 
the next boot and automatically do the interrupt mapping? I hope I would not 
need to make manual changes to Libreboot or to interrupt maps if I decided to 
make a small hardware upgrade.

Good to know!

Cheers,
Bruno
