Is there any reason why we can NOT use interrupt links (PNP0C0F) and
related resources to describe those interrupts (I know that the spec
says they can be used just for configurable IRQs but I suspect that was
influenced by legacy x86 platforms) ? I think Rafael and Bjorn have a
bit more visibility into why the interrupt links were specified that
way (and I do not have enough x86 background to understand why the legacy
IRQ routing was specified this way in ACPI - which was obviously biased
by how x86 HW works).
