I think it's much better to have them specified per-device. Having PCI cards in the system (for network and disk, which are both good sources of entropy) means that I have to maintain driver-to-IRQ mapping in sync by carefully looking at dmesg output ;-) And it can change even if I swap slots for the cards. hmm, how it would work in presence of PCI irq sharing?
