ACPI Extended Interrupt Descriptors can encode 32-bit interrupt

To avoid corrupting memory, complain and ignore too-large interrupt
numbers.

There's similar code in pnpacpi_parse_irq_option(), but I didn't
change that because the small IRQ descriptor can only encode
IRQs 0-15, which do not exceed bitmap size.

In the future, we could handle IRQ numbers greater than PNP_IRQ_NR
by replacing the bitmap with a table or list.
