Please split this into two patches: one "obviously correct" one that 
just extends the call parameters, and another one that makes use of 
the new information:

> +	else

Btw., this sequence raises the question: wouldnt it be cleaner to 
have some sort of (somewhat artificial) 'boot platform device' that 
could be passed down instead of NULL, which would give 
dev_to_node(&boot_platform_dev) == boot_cpu_id?

Dunno - maybe it's not worth it and your solution is the cleanest.

Also, when submitting patches, please always try to Cc: affected 
non-x86 maintainers:

  scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/acpi/pci_irq.c   \
   drivers/pnp/pnpacpi/rsparser.c include/linux/acpi.h  \
   arch/ia64/kernel/acpi.c

Thanks,

	Ingo
