Umm the list of IRQ numbers is the list of valid IRQs.  Your BIOS is _ineded_ 
buggy.  Note that for the IRQ in question it says this:


\_SB_.PCI0.LNKA irq   9: [  1  3  4  5  6  7 10 11 12 14 15]
low,level,sharable 0.1.0

I.e., I'm using IRQ 9, but 9 is not in the list of valid IRQs which includes 
1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 14, and 15.  Thus, the kernel believes what 
your broken BIOS says and throws out IRQ 9 and tries to use IRQ 10 instead, 
which your BIOS claims is open for use even though you've told it its not.  
One thing you can try is a patch Nate has to always treat ACPI's interrupt 
(IRQ 9 usually) as a valid interrupt for the link device to use.
