An integer is returned by _CRS/_PRS object of LINK device
for some broken bios( the HID of LINK device is "PNP0C0F").
In such case irq_number will be constructed as the Extended
IRQ descriptor.
The content of the buffer should be the following:
0x89,0x06,0x00,0x0D,0x01,0x0,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x79,0x00.
And the length of the buffer is 11.
