Sadly it is not. Your patch works for your particular case but is not
generally applicable. There are indeed systems with 2 or more IOAPICs
and they all use different device-ids.
So, typically, there is one IOAPIC per SB, like in your case. But on
RD890 the chipset NB also includes an IOAPIC (which uses
device-id 00:00.1). This IOAPIC exists on your system too but is
disabled by the BIOS because the board does not use it.
So, in the end, device-id 00:00.1 might also be correct and the IVRS
entry could refer to the NB IOAPIC. We don't have any reliable
indication which IOAPIC is described in the IVRS table.
Cheer,
Joerg
