Based on the ICH10 IO-APIC documentation with respect to auto EOIs, we
cant have any two IRQs across any IO-APICs sharing a vector,
irrespective of IOMMU or not. (Because the EOI'ing an IO-APIC entry
only takes account of vector and not destination)
If we were to disable the auto EOI broadcast and do manual EOI'ing (only
available on newer versions of the local apic) then we could reduce that
restriction to "no two IRQs in the same IO-APIC may share a vector".
