[Bug 1177] New: print_IO_APIC() is too early in ACPI mode

From: Martin J. Bligh

Summary: print_IO_APIC() is too early in ACPI mode
Kernel Version: 2.6.0-test4
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Owner: len.brown@xxxxxxxxx
Submitter: len.brown@xxxxxxxxx
CC: linux-acpi@xxxxxxxxx


setup_IO_APIC() doesn't know that ACPI is (later) programming the IO-APICs,
so it calls print_IO_APIC() and dumps the hardware state before the hardware is programmed.

This output is at best useless, and at worst confusing.
If this output is to appear when booting with ACPI, it should occur once -- after ACPI has
programmed the APICs.
