Having just finished picking up the pieces after the IRQ renumbering
occasioned by merging the EBSA-285 and NetWinder code, I'd like to propose
that we do it all over again. :-)
Life for a lot of code would be easier if the 16 ISA irqs (on machines where
they exist) were in the traditional 0..15 range rather than the 16..24 slot
they currently occupy. Network drivers for instance often calculate their
IRQ numbering based on jumper settings or the contents of an EEPROM.
I think Pat may have brought this up once before and maybe even implemented it
in the NetWinder line of kernels (I only have a very old 2.0.31 at the moment)
but it never seemed to get taken up in the 2.1 series.
