Device IRQs might be set is in the actual hardware itself. The manufacturer might have hardwired that device (such as a USB or Firewire controller) to a particular hardware IRQ line.

Device itself might be designed to require a particular IRQ. Don't know if that's true anymore, used to be in the days of the E/ISA buses.

I don't think software can do anything about those situations.

BIOS might have option to change IRQs.

Yes, that page is for set the priorities of IRQ handlers, not the IRQ to a certain device.

If you find how to do that let us know.
Thank you!

    That link is good for setting the priorities of irq handlers, but
    doesn't tell you how to move a device to a different irq, which is
    what I'd really like.

    I just had another look at the onboard firmware config system, and
    it does have a page that lets you assign devices labelled A,B,C...
    to different physical interrupts, but I'm not sure how to use this
    properly or safely. (There's no indication what device 'A' actually
    is). By default they are all set to INT 11, which doesn't come up in
    /proc/interrupts.

           Sure!

           I've been using stock kernels for a while now, but is it true
        that
           this is only relevant when running a rt-patched kernel *and*
           setting up rt-priorities for IRQ's?

           In any case, where do I find a quick (re-)intro to how to
        tune the
           IRQ's?
