>From what I understand, the PCI IRQ routing information is not discoverable
by probing the hardware (in the general case), it has to be obtained from
the ACPI tables (or perhaps from the obsolete MP tables, also provided by
firmware). See https://docs.kernel.org/PCI/acpi-info.html :

(a PCI host bridge connects the CPU cores to the PCI bus, it is the root of the PCI
device tree. This patch concerns the "legacy INTx interrupts" as above).

In the case of this particular laptop, however, it should be possible to obtain
the information by reading chipset registers, which are documented at
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/io/io-controller-hub-9-datasheet.html
But this is difficult to implement in every case.

OK

This is per PCI device.

Thank you for reviewing.
