No, I haven't. Although Linux is reliant upon these values having been 
programmed it's quite clear from reading its code that that depence is 
intentional. It explicitely reads the route setup by the bootloader 
rather than clobbering it, and to me that does make sense in this case.

However the pcnet32 ethernet driver seems to be reliant upon the 
interrupt and doesn't handle the case of a PCI device with no assigned 
interrupt, so I'll send a patch to fail its probe in that case shortly.

Thanks,
