Please correct me if I am wrong. But I don't think this is necessary a 
bug in the FW. From the CZ system, here are the IVHD device entry dump 
that belong to this IOMMU:

[    0.070351] AMD-Vi: device: 00:00.2 cap: 0040 seg: 0 flags: b8 info 0000

And here is the output from lspci:

The IVHD seems valid. We should not need to include from devid 0 if it 
has already specified the IOAPIC[1] separately.

Thanks,
Suravee
