Hi Bjorn, I should pay more attention to commit messages:) Then how about this description? -- PCI: Remove PCI ioapic driver To support IOAPIC hotplug on x86 and IA64 platforms, OS needs to figure out global interrupt

Originally the ioapic PCI driver is designed to support IOAPIC hotplug, but it never works because no architecture has implemented required interface to support it. We plan to reimplement it as an ACPI driver instead of PCI driver due to: 1) To support IOAPIC hotplug, an IOAPIC unit must have an
