hm, please implement this symmetrically on 64-bit and 32-bit as well. 
That will need more IRQ infrastructure changes but that should be OK as 
it will reduce the gap between the 32-bit and 64-bit side instead of 
widening it. A good starting point would be to unify/generalize the IRQ 
vector allocators. (and that would get most of what you need for 
multi-vector MSI)
