Cort is in the process of rewriting irq.c, and I have a (somewhat large)
patch based on Corey Minyard's work which redid irq.c and most all the
machine dependant functions. You might want to take a look at this, since
I suspect it might make help reduce the 'uglification'.

Btw, I have a 7100/80 I'd like to try this on if you ever get it working
;)
