At least it knows it only to a point. It knows which IRQs are in use, but it doesn't know if the pcic (or cardbus bridge in compat mode) can route to a given free irq. For cardbus bridges, we can at least ask the PCI BIOS, so much relief will come there. For old pcic devices that aren't plug and play, we have almost no hope...
