And why is this a problem?

How that can override the configuration / BIOS flavour when driver
needs to register an interrupt out of GpioIo() resource?

P.S. Have you looked at drivers/platform/x86/i2c-multi-instantiate.c
and intel_cht_int33fe.c?
They are the only drivers which needs something like this for now and
I would rather say it's a bad BIOS decision to write a table like
that.
