Even better ! I did not know about the LAPIC stuff, so thanks
for the pointer.

So currently I only see two problems: It appears to me that
the PSD_IRQ_xxx functions would only allow up to 32 interrupts
(bit masks in ULONGs). O.K., it's more than we have now, but
256 would be better ;-).
The other are these $%&(/@ drivers, that don't like high
interrupt numbers. I'm realy wondering, how many these are.
We currently know the following for sure:

COM.SYS
SBLIVExx.SYS
CMEDIAxx.SYS
UNIAUD32.SYS

I suspect some more audio drivers, (i.e. all that used the
Tropez or PciAudio source code from the DDK as template).

I will fix SBLIVE and CMEDIA and maybe UNIAUD (If someone
manages to upload compileable source code to the Netlabs
repository).
