So a couple of possibilities come to mind.

1) There are _PXM entries for
_SB.PCI0 - Looks like a root port. Bus number of 0
_SB.S0D1 - Looks like a root port. Bus number of 1
_SB.S0D2 - Looks like a root port. Bus number of 2
_SB.S0D3 - Looks like a root port. Bus number of 3

covering nodes 0 - 3 which seems reasonable but the kernel log is recording that
no NUMA information was found - and you didn't attach an SRAT table along with the
others earlier so I'm going to guess there wasn't one?

I suspect that will cause us all sorts of fun issues as I don't think the code
verifies the node exists - or at the very least there is one path that isn't.

I'll fake up some equivalents on a machine here and see whether a few well placed
sanity checks will fix it.

2) We are successfully associating a lot of other stuff a little earlier
in the process for ACPI than previously so we 'might' cause a side effect where
data (that is presumably wrong) is now visible.

This one looks less likely to me...

3) Something that someone who knows more about ACPI than me will spot!

Thanks,

Jonathan

p.s. Rule one of ACPI. If it is possible to break it and still have common OSes
booting then people will manage to do so...
