Please say here that this is can be the case on some old platforms. Mine
is a couple of years old dell workstation box.

Right, exactly.

Just do:

if (ACPI_HANDLE(root_bus->bridge))
acpi_ioapic_add(ACPI_HANDLE(root_bus->bridge));

no need for the local variable - gcc is smart enough to fetch it only

Anyway, I'll run it later to verify.
