Well, maybe a little.  The L440GX+ board is well-documented with a nice
diagram documenting the IRQ swizzle.  The SuperMicro board isn't, so I'm
probably screwed there.

I think it is possible to probe it by putting in a card in one slot at a
time and seeing how their BIOS initializes the IRQ register in that card.

The GPIOs and ACPI stuff are definitely going to be a problem though -
one I hadn't fully considered before.  Damn.

We really were hoping we'd get some help from a motherboard vendor but
that just hasn't been the case.  No-one seems interested in the
relatively low quantities of boards we'd move.
