Observe that the PCI DWORD (long) register at DWORD offset 15 consists
of 4 byte-wide registers (from the PCI specification), Max_lat, Min_Gnt,
Interrupt pin, and interrupt line.  Nothing has to fit into 4 bits, you
have 8 bits. I haven't looked at the Linux code, but if it provides only 4
bits for the IRQ, it's broken.
