32663C_lx_gx_pciconfig.pdf page 46-49 seems to suggest that USB is
always on INTD# IRQ11. This could be hardwired in LX/5536; GL packets
from USB will always trigger IRQ11. Or worse they will always trigger
PCI_INTD# meaning a well-designed board with 4 PCI slots, or a badly
designed board with less slots will always need to share somewhere.
