Interrupt routing and friends ...

For now I've always found a workaround to boot my machines to DragonFly 
(if I've really had to) regardless our crappy interrupt routing (or to be 
correct - the lack of interrupt routing :P). But now I'm giving up - the 
machine I got for pkgsrc development (with ICH9 chipset) just doesn't 
work - I've tried all ideas I have. It actually even boots (although very 
slowly), but is under constant interrupt load from SATA controller. 
Therefore no pkgsrc development for now ... ;(

But the question I wanted to ask ... I know several persons who agreed to 
participate in setting up a bounty (including me) to bring modern 
interrupt routing into DragonFly, but my impression so far is that 
regardless of existance (or amount ;) of bounty there is no person 
willing to take this task. Am I correct or ... ?

This really needs to be solved, so, please speak up if you have something 
constructive to say :).
