More devices were crowded upon the same IRQ.

Well, i had to make some changes anyway, so my NForce mobo has been
officially demoted to the status of Internet firewall mobo. Now my PC's
mobo is SiS based, same generation as NForce2 and probably pretty much
the same performance.
There's a distasteful overlap between EMU10K1 and eth0 but i'm not using
the network too much while doing audio work:

The kernel is the latest Fedora 2 update (2.6.6-1.435.2.3) rebuilt by
myself with pre-empt and IO-APIC enabled.
