 | [    0.089969] ERROR: Unable to locate IOAPIC for GSI 13
 | [    0.090556] ERROR: Unable to locate IOAPIC for GSI 8
 | [    0.091104] ERROR: Unable to locate IOAPIC for GSI 12
 | [    0.091375] ERROR: Unable to locate IOAPIC for GSI 1
 | [    0.093195] ERROR: Unable to locate IOAPIC for GSI 4
 | [    0.094342] ERROR: Unable to locate IOAPIC for GSI 10
 | [    0.096335] ERROR: Unable to locate IOAPIC for GSI 6
 |

The new warning originates from acpi_get_override_irq(), which I
recently changed to use helper functions:

  9a0a91bb56d2: x86, acpi/irq: Teach acpi_get_override_irq to take a gsi not an 
isa_irq

These helper functions have the side-effect that they warn when
they fail harmlessly.

When IOAPICs and ACPI are enabled in a kernel and run on ACPI
hardware that doesn't use the ioapics the pnp acpi code calls
this function, looking for ACPI irq overrides.  ACPI irq
overrides exist only in the ioapic case so this function will
never succeed.

So make the function fail quickly and silently so we don't call
into help functions that legitimately complain when they fail.
