I agree.

I think there are, but I don't think they are available freely. Some 
information gathered by volunteers is included in Ralf Brown's Interrupt List 
(C or D), alternatively.

The problem is, however, that many BIOSes do not comply with specifications 
correctly, anyway. So all I can think of is not check BIOS information 
strictly.
