I know I'm not a kernel developer, but I might have some ideas... I my self have wanted to see the irq's listed that weren't currently in use.
I have a question tho. back in the 2.0 days, what was the + for in the interrupts? This machine below has 2.0.36: 0: 1104087408 timer 1: 538377 keyboard 2: 0 cascade 9: 6704638 xirc2ps_cs 11: 142 i82365 12: 3263094 PS/2 Mouse 13: 1 math error 14: 9763449 + ide0 ^
If this doesn't break anything, maybe you can put a - in that place (I don't guess 2.2 uses it since the other 3 machines I have are using 2.2 and doesn't show the +) to indicate that it's a non active irq.

Maybe my idea will help... Too bad I'm not very good at modifing other peoples code. (I even have problems with my own if I haven't worked with it in a while <g>)
