[PATCH] Cleanup misleading IA64 ACPI error message

From: George Beshers
Date: Wed Oct 10 2007 - 08:15:52 EST




On Altix (sn2) machines the "Error parsing MADT" message is
misleading because the lack of IOSAPIC entries is expected.

Since I am sure someone will ask, I have been told that
the chance of this changing anytime soon is close to nil.
