IRQ_REMAP is a 'complex' option:

config IRQ_REMAP
        bool "Support for Interrupt Remapping (EXPERIMENTAL)"
        depends on X86_64 && X86_IO_APIC && PCI_MSI && ACPI && EXPERIMENTAL
        select DMAR_TABLE

and selecting such complex options is generally dangerous, as 
the sub-dependencies are not explicitly selected. So if say 
PCI_MSI or ACPI are disabled, the select will still be performed 
by X86_X2APIC.

Can we make the IRQ_REMAP default depend on X86_X2APIC or so, to 
solve this problem?

Thanks,
