Yes, they probably try to improve the scheduling between those four
chips.

D'oh, I should have checked what this message means.
It says we did not receive an interrupt.
The unlabled chip can't prevent an interrupt from being delivered.
It can only request additional interrupts.

This is strange. There are 7 different IRQs assigned to that card but
PCI slots only have 4. According to the pictures each 878A gets one of
these. The .0 and .1 functions of a 878A must always share the same IRQ.

Does your system print information on the PCI IRQ routing when Linux
starts?
