Hi Rafael,

Sorry about this, I didn't realize acpi_lapic is for x86 only. And ia64
uses it too. About this bug, it should exist in ia64 too. After checking
code, introducing acpi_lapic into ia64 is a solution, I will try to find
a ia64 machine to test this though it's a little difficult, since people
around didn't test ia64 recently.

Any suggestion  or comment?
