------- Comment #45 from [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2007-08-31 14:27 -------
Ubuntu users reported this back in 2.6.17:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.17/+bug/83984

ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [ALKD] (IRQs 21) *0
...
ACPI Error (uteval-0269): Return object type is incorrect
[\_SB_.PCI0.ALKD._CRS] (Node dbfd39b4), AE_TYPE
ACPI Error (uteval-0275): Type returned from _CRS was incorrect: Integer,
expected Btypes: 4 [20060707]
ACPI Exception (pci_link-0281): AE_TYPE, Evaluating _CRS [20060707]
ACPI: Unable to set IRQ for PCI Interrupt Link [ALKD]. Try pci=noacpi or
acpi=off
ACPI: Invalid IRQ link routing entry
ACPI: Unable to derive IRQ for device 0000:00:10.0
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:10.0[A]: no GSI - using IRQ 11

The interesting thing here is that _PRS is valid, with IRQ 21.
When Linux finds the bogus _CRS, it is abandoning the link
and going to the PCI config space, which gives us 11
in the Ubuntu case and 0 here.  Neither of them are in _PRS,
which is quite clear that this link needs to be IRQ21
when enabled.

So I'm thinking that rather than change the interpreter to
grok a bogus link entry, what we should do is make the error
path smarter and instead of using PCI space, we should
use the _PRS when _CRS is bad.  We already have a BIOS
workaround in place for when _CRS returns 0, so this shouldn't
be much different.
