    IIUC, the external IRQ #'s should follow those occupied by 32 internal IRQs.
    But those shown in that file are "virtual" numbers, i.e. they got re-mapped by the kernel as it sees fit (basically, it tries to assign the same # to IRQs above 15 and remaps those below)

   I'm not sure arch/powerpc/ in 2.6.17 had the complete MPC8541 support...
