1) PCI interrupts can be shared. It is OK and usual for this to happen.
2) Manually assigning interrupts is pointless, let the firmware or OS do 
it. It knows what is possible and will do the best that it can.
3) What is possible depends on the motherboard. It may be impossible for 
those devices to have different IRQs assigned.
4) This is a coreboot mailing list. Is the motherboard using coreboot? 
If so then please tell us the exact motherboard and where the coreboot 
code came from.
