Yes. This is because the io_apic code should be fixed.

It does:

	printk("\n" KERN_DEBUG "printing local APIC

and that "\n" at the beginning should just be deleted. The log-level 
should be at the beginning of the printk, not in the middle.

Same goes for the insane binary printing crap. How about just making it 
sane?
