It's nothing to worry about. PCI devices are allowed to share IRQs
because PCI is a more "intelligent" bus than the older ISA bus and can
arbitrate between two devices using the same IRQ without conflicts.
It's an "informational" message spit out by the kernel. (In fact, on
some of our machines with lots of multifunction devices plugged into
them, I've seen five or six PCI devices all on the same IRQ.)
