this highly looks that it's not possible to be used outside the linux
kernel so the license is odd

It can't be used directly, but other OS ports steal fairly directly from this file (and others). For example OpenSolaris and the BSDs.

there is no way to share interrupts? A shame

256 allocatable IRQs seems plenty to be getting on with. Shared IRQs can certainly be added later -- there are no hidden gotchas I'm pretty sure.
