Is that patch the result of a merge?

With that patch in place, the code structure is essentially:

#if defined(CONFIG_ACPI) && defined(CONFIG_X86_IO_APIC)
#if defined(CONFIG_ACPI) && defined(CONFIG_X86_IO_APIC)
static u32 __init ati_ixp4x0_rev(int num, int slot, int func)
{
	...
}
#endif

...
#endif


I can't see how the inner #if is doing anything useful at all.
