I can certainly write a patch that works around your particular BIOS
bug. The problem is that such a fix will most certainly break other
systems.

Unfortunatly there is no reliable way to fixup the IO-APIC-ID->DEVID
mapping at runtime when the BIOS messed it up. The only thing I can do
is to check for potential problems and disable the intremap feature
then, so that the system will at least boot.
