Re: 48GB NUMA-Q boots, with major IO-APIC hassles

(2) MAX_IO_APIC's got clobbered in the subarch cleanups.
	-- CONFIG_X86_NUMA was removed, use CONFIG_X86_NUMAQ
	-- this is greppable, folks...
That wasn't the subarch cleanups that removed it, please be careful
what you're saying. I plead not guilty to that one.
(4) PCI bridges get misnumbered children.
	-- Brew up a PCI hook for giving child buses their bus numbers.
	-- Basically, fwd port mbligh's fix for 2.4.x more cleanly.
	-- Okay, not IO-APIC-related, but it annoys me greatly.
	-- ink is at least trying to steer me in the right direction here.
Additional PCI-PCI bridges (eg starfire cards) have never been supported 
in non-boot quads. It's not impossible, but don't be suprised if it 
doesn't work.
(5) Booting with notsc panic()'s.
	-- Remove tsc_disable assignment in the __setup() call.
	-- I'd be much obliged if the SMP TSC issues were at long
	-- last conclusively dealt with. Not IO-APIC-related either,
	-- but also very annoying.
You don't have PIT support compiled in, and you turned off TSC support,
leaving yourself with no timer. There's a patch in my tree to force on
PIT support for NUMA-Q.
