I suspect not. We don't need it on Cantiga, and I think that's all we
really care about for 2.6.29-stable. Non-laptop chipsets, or laptop
chipsets that aren't actually out there in the wild yet, can wait for
2.6.30.

The less we have to backport, the better -- and suspend/resume support
for interrupt remapping would also require backporting a bunch of other
changes in the apic code.

At least what I have in the above tree so far is self-contained in the
VT-d codeÂ.

 Conveniently forgetting the part where we change the definition of the
  if() macro...
