What makes this specifically related to IOAPICs?

Theoretically, we should be able to assign resources and enable
bridges here regardless of the system_state.
I think the reason you don't want to do it while SYSTEM_BOOTING is
because we currently do this at boot-time:
acpi_pci_root_add
pci_scan_child_bus
acpi_pci_root_start
pci_bus_add_devices
<account for some motherboard (PNP0C01) resources>
pcibios_assign_resources # fs_initcall
pci_assign_unassigned_resources
pci_enable_bridges
and without the SYSTEM_BOOTING check, we might assign PCI resources at
boot-time that conflict with motherboard resources.
Is that right?
This is completely non-obvious and future readers deserve a hint about
what's going on here.
The right way to do this would be to pay attention to the host bridge
apertures, and assign resources from within the apertures. Then we
could always assign PCI resources when adding a host bridge instead of
in an fs_initcall. I understand we still have legacy issues and
machines where we still don't pay attention to _CRS. But if we're
doing things to work around a broken design, it's important to be
aware of how the design is broken so we have some hope of eventually
fixing the design.
