Hi Bjorn,
	With this patch applied, how about removing this workaround
from arch/x86/pci/irq.c?
-------------------------------------------------------------------
        if (io_apic_assign_pci_irqs && pci_routeirq) {
                struct pci_dev *dev = NULL;
                /*
                 * PCI IRQ routing is set up by pci_enable_device(), but we
                 * also do it here in case there are still broken
drivers that
                 * don't use pci_enable_device().
                 */
                printk(KERN_INFO "PCI: Routing PCI interrupts for all
devices because \"pci=routeirq\" specified\n");
                for_each_pci_dev(dev)
                        pirq_enable_irq(dev);
        }

Thanks!
