Subject: v2.6.26-rc9: ACPI PCI irq routing on NUMA? + early_ioremap trouble

Hi,

I have produced a config which doesn't boot correctly on either of my
computers with v2.6.26-rc9.

The first problem is with my laptop, which hangs on boot, see
screenshot (sorry for the bad quality, I was in a hurry):
http://folk.uio.no/vegardno/linux/DSCF3026.JPG

I figured there's something wrong with ACPI PCI irq routing as I'm
missing a message that shows up in my usual configs:

calling  ide_scan_pcibus+0x0/0xf0
ICH8M: IDE controller (0x8086:0x2850 rev 0x03) at  PCI slot 0000:00:1f.1
    --- HERE: ---
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1f.1[A] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 18
    ----
ICH8M: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later

...and as can be seen in the screenshot, ide-cd "lost interrupt".
Unfortunately, I don't have a serial line on this machine, so it's
hard to get the full log. (Maybe I can try netconsole, it seems to be
up by the time this happens.)

(I also tried booting with acpi=off, acpi=noirq, pci=noacpi, to no avail.)

Note that this does not seem to be a regression; I get the same thing
with -rc8 as well. I'm guessing it's config-induced, here are my
config changes that triggered it:

I'll make a guess for the NUMA/ACPI stuff. And this is the full
config: http://folk.uio.no/vegardno/linux/config-bisect

I decided to also try this kernel with my desktop machine. This one
boots (probably because ACPI is disabled?), but I get the following
warning:

What really puzzles me is the line number of the WARN -- it says
arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c:553. But this line does not contain any WARNs.
In fact, it's not even the right function. But this is a clean
v2.6.26-rc9 compile, as can be seen from the kernel version above.

There's also one a bit later:

[    7.746346] please boot with early_ioremap_debug and report the dmesg.
[    7.746460] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[    7.746569] WARNING: at arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c:524

See full dmesg at: http://folk.uio.no/vegardno/linux/dmesg-2.6.26-rc9
With early_ioremap_debug enabled:
http://folk.uio.no/vegardno/linux/dmesg-early_ioremap_debug

My apologies if I got the recipients wrong; I picked them off the
git-log for relevant files. Please Cc in the right direction if needed
:-)

Thanks!
