So the status is not so bad :
	1) This means that someone could just do a kind of "pci init" to change 
the irq value because the firmware does not make it. Look at linux 
prep-pci.c to see what I mean...
	2) Of course the openpic code management should be enhanced as you 
proposed to reduce latency,
