The initsenses table was correct already, but open_pic.c relies on the
number of interrupt sources returned from the feature reporting register,
that excludes the internal sources (in Harrier, Hawk and Raven chips at
least). Thus these interrupts are not correctly setup. I posted a possible
(==untested) solution a few minutes ago.

BTW: Is there any documentation on the OpenPIC controllers, the AMD link
seems to have disappeared.
