Well yes. It can't interpret the ACPI _PRT tables so the
interrupt routing information is not present.
Which means that the drivers fall back to polling mode or end up
using the wrong IRQs.

Whoa. 20. That is unusual, but we do set it up. Perhaps ineptly thought.
Is there an option in the BIOS to toggle some ACPI SCI option?
Does /proc/interrupts have this for IRQ 20:
9: 3 0 0 0 0 0
xen-pirq-ioapic-level acpi
?
