Hi Marcin

I know nothing about ACPI. Is this limitation with respect to
interrupts fundamental to ACPI, or just that nobody has implemented
flexible interrupt support yet?
The infrastructure is there to traverse trees of children, but I don't
think there any helper functions.
Thanks, so if I implement such, do you expect any formal issues that
prevent its acceptance?

Best regards,
Marcin
