This Intel onboard adapter always supports MSI, and AFAICS there is no
MSI quirk for this chipset.

Mark, is CONFIG_PCI_MSI actually enabled?

ioremap is used by drivers (and sometimes by the kernel itself) to get
access to some device's memory-mapped I/O range.  "-22" is -EINVAL and
is returned by reserve_memtype to indicate that the requested memory
range includes both RAM and not-RAM.

Without a following error message, it's not possible to find out which
device that is, and where that funny address range comes from.  The fact
that there is no error message might indicate that this is harmless, but
if you want to find out more, add the following lines to
arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c directly after the error message:

		printk(KERN_ERR "phys_addr: %#Lx, size: %#Lx\n",
		       (u64)phys_addr, (u64)size);
		dump_stack();

Clemens
