I seem to have the clue. It is because ACPI_HANDLE(root_bus->bridge) == NULL.
Then this root bridge doesn't have a corresponding ACPI device. In this case
we shouldn't call acpi_ioapic_add(). This can be true for some old platforms.

If that's the case then the patch below can fix it.

Thanks

Subject: [PATCH] x86/ioapic: Ignore root bridges without a companion ACPI device

Some PCI root bridges don't have a corresponding ACPI device.
Don't call acpi_ioapic_add() on these bridges because they can't
support ioapic hotplug.

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
once :)

Anyway, I'll run it later to verify.

Thanks.
