Description
This option controls the interrupted assignment of PCI devices in the system. This option is set to
standard by default, causing standard interrupt routing that uses INTA, B, C, D for all PCIe devices.
When set to distributed, the interrupt routing is rerouted at the MCH root ports to minimize
sharing of interrupts across all PCIe (and PCI-X in PIC mode) devices.
--atgsystem
Valid Argument
