Hi Bjorn,

Yes it's an ording issue. acpi_ioapic_add() and also ioapic_insert_resources()
have to be later than pci initialization in order to deal with IOAPICs mapped
on a PCI BAR. There's a comment about this inside pcibios_resource_survey()
above ioapic_insert_resources(). We can also add a comment inside
acpi_pci_root_add(), though.

And yes calling acpi_ioapic_add() in pcibios_assign_resources() doesn't require
ifdef CONFIG_X86. But it'll require a loop to iterate through the root buses,
and call acpi_ioapic_add() within the loop. pci_assign_unassigned_resources()
already has that loop. Do you still prefer adding it to
pcibios_assign_resources() ?

Regards,
Rui
