It seems to me that any IRQ that the PCIC can see will be usable for
assignment to a card no?  Is there no way to hit the PCIC and tell it to
issue an interrupt?  Keep in mind I'm coming from a network device
background here where a number of chips can be told to do this.

Otherwise your timeout solution seems good.  Are the valid IRQs dependent
on the board integrator or on the chip used?  Since we can identify the
chips (well, it looks like we can) couldn't we maintain a 'quirk' table?
