The BIOS certainly runs the IO-APICs in legacy mode (required to be
able to boot legacy OSes), using just IRQs 0...15 (on a single IO-APIC).
Once ACPI gets enabled, all IO-APIC pins can be used, and hence
sharing of interrupts is generally not needed if there are sufficiently
many pins (and things are properly wired up on the mainboard).

Yes.
