I have tried to contact Asus in the past to have them fix the issue, but 
I got no luck.  Once it is out in the field, it's very difficult to get 
them to make changes.  I am also addressing this issue with the BIOS 
team for the future hardware.

Turning this into WARN_ON() at this point might break a lot of systems 
currently out in the field.  However, users can always switching to use 
"intremap=off" but this might not be obvious.
