I already discussed this with our chip architect. There is a chip design 
rule that core index corresponds to the irq number. This at least is 
true for the bcm43xx devices, but unsure about others. So that option 
does not seem to fit. That leaves the OOB_ROUTER core I mentioned 
earlier, but it is a chip designers nightmare as they told me. Did not 
sound encouraging enough to start digging in there to obtain the 
information.
