Agreed that it used to be a horrendous problem with the old ISA
architecture. However, it's not normally an issue these days: PCI
architecture allows sharing of IRQs as a standard feature. (One imagines
that it must be better to assign a separate IRQ manually to each service
if possible, but I've never seen any recommendation to do this.)
