I did it on purpose (and gave the warning a miss...) and I consider iosapic_free_rte() is no longer needed. I decided to remain iosapic_rte_info to keep gsi-to-irq binding after device disable. Indeed it needs some extra memory, but it is only "sizeof(iosapic_rte_info) * <the number of removed devices>" bytes and has no memory leak becasue re-enabled devices use the iosapic_rte_info which they used before disabling. Here is a iosapic_free_rte() removal patch which remove the warning message and can be applied after 12/12.
