A small patch to /proc/pci which adds an ioctl PCIIOC_SIGIRQ which
allows for the kernel to send (user defined) rtsignals when IRQs are
recieved. It may be interesting to X folk and the like, so with some
cleanups maybe they'll merge it, who knows.

It will be OK if i pass mmap a start address and map right over some
regions in phys_ram_base?
