Thanks Uwe, That was it! I added 'option IRQ_SLOT_COUNT=3' to the Config.lb in the target directory of my board, and >>that did the trick. I now get IRQs assigned to all 3 devices I intended to. Very nice!
Nice, indeed! Does everything else work on your board? Either way, please post a patch so we can add it to the repository.

One thing I'd like to investigate as well is initializing the IRQ router in LB. I've seen some discussion about this in the past, and I've come to the conclusion that for Geode GX1/CS5530 systems, it should be initialized in LB rather than Linux. It also seems like some LB ports do this, and others do not.
Linux does not know the CS5530 as an IRQ router. So it does not change anything in its registers settings. For this chipset Linux relies on the BIOS. Or you must patch the kernel. How to make LB fill in the routing registers with usefull values?
