The PNP code is reporting what's in the tables - I'd be a bit surprised
if it special-cased specific devices, but I guess there's an argument
for that. All the other machines I've checked report an IRQ, so I guess
Apple just didn't take much care in getting this right.
As far as sanity checking goes - how about we check that the reported
io ports are the legacy range, and if so hardcode the irq if the
hardware hasn't reported one? I'd /hope/ that nobody has produced any
hardware that that would break, but then, well. The strongest argument
for it being safe is probably that the legacy RTC driver seems to
hardcode this and hasn't obviously been breaking things.
