2 is never free, neither are 8 or 13.  Your pcic is probably on 3, so 
you only have irq 10 available for allocation.

You can't do that; the hardware is still connected to the IRQ line even 
if you don't have a driver enabled.

If you're on -current or 3.1 you can try setting the pcic IRQ to 0 (see 
'help tunables' in the loader) to free up IRQ 3.
