sorry it took me a while to come up with a patch. Here's some first
attempt of how we could turn CONFIG_X86_REROUTE_FOR_BROKEN_BOOT_IRQS
into something useful again.
Ccing linux-acpi@...r.kernel.org as this changes ACPI code.
I'm not really sure if the ACPI GSI is always matches the final IRQ
number. From looking at the code it looks like it is but there might
be exceptions. So please let me know of any troubles that this patch
might cause.
I've tested this patch on a machine with 6700PXH PCI Express-to-PCI
Bridge and the machine booted fine. With the patch enabled and
CONFIG_X86_REROUTE_FOR_BROKEN_BOOT_IRQS=y set the NICs IRQ was
successfully moved from IRQ
48: 0 0 16163 195 IO-APIC-fasteoi eth0
to
16: 0 0 4715 237 IO-APIC-fasteoi uhci_hcd:usb2, uhci_hcd:usb5, eth0
Len, I know that you weren't that pleased by this whole "altering ACPI
information" approach the last time. Please consider it anyway.
Stefan
