I've linked to a dmesg with "apic=verbose" below with the irq 7 override hack
applied. Would you still like a copy without either of these patches applied?

What's the convention for including a dmesg on the mailing list? I've
included the copy via gist as pasting it into email seems incorrect, but
that's also probably not the correct convention.

I've applied that patch and the GPIO driver loads and functions.

The dmesg with the patch and "apic=verbose" I've placed at:
