It won't. I just checked. :^(
lba_fixup_bus() invokes iosapic_fixup_irq() for each PCI device.
iosapic_fixup_irq() invokes iosapic_xlate_pin() to locate both the
INTERRUPT_LINE and parent IOSAPIC. xlate_pin reads the INTERRUPT_PIN
and *ignores* the INTERRUPT_LINE. This behavior has to remain in order
to support PAT PDC platforms (which do not initialize the PCI device).
I doubt we can use pci_quirks to fixup the dev->irq.
I've proposed to Alex to use a "bus devices" scheme (a' la LASI).
So some "central" code will manage IRQ routing for devices below suckyio.
I.e. suckyio will have it's own IRQ region and collectively manage
all three PCI functions as "one device".
This would be the first case in parisc-linux where we "stack" three
IRQ regions on top of each other: driver->suckyio->iosapic->CPU
glad I could help,
