SYMPTOMS
========
On i840 symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) computers with multiple PCI buses and AGP
ports, a HalAssignSlotResources call may not assign resources for a Universal
Host Controller Interface (UHCI) USB host controller.
CAUSE
=====
The call does not work because the MPS hardware abstraction layer (HAL) does not
search for PCI interrupt routings beyond #INTA.
