[PATCH] x86_64: avoid IRQ0 ioapic pin collision

The patch addresses a problem with ACPI SCI interrupt entry, which gets
re-used, and the IRQ is assigned to another unrelated device.  The patch
corrects the code such that SCI IRQ is skipped and duplicate entry is
avoided.  Second issue came up with VIA chipset, the problem was caused by
original patch assigning IRQs starting 16 and up.  The VIA chipset uses
4-bit IRQ register for internal interrupt routing, and therefore cannot
handle IRQ numbers assigned to its devices.  The patch corrects this
problem by allowing PCI IRQs below 16.
