Ok - please send a patch that fixes this.

Btw., it would be nice to reduce the number of #ifdef 
CONFIG_INTR_REMAP's in all .c files in general - or even eliminate 
them.

It might be feasible to move all the INTR_REMAP code into a separate 
.c file and only build it in the INTR_REMAP case. I have not tried 
to do that so i dont know - if the interfaces are too wide and 
unnatural to the rest of the ioapic code it might not improve the 
end result - but good layering generally does do the trick.
