Re: [PATCH v6] irq: add quirk for broken interrupt remapping on 55XX chipsets

I'm sorry.  Forgot to change the wording of the error for the new model that I'm following here.  Although the message is mostly right as bios is responsible for setting and clearing the IRQ remapping feature bit in the chips capabilities register.

I'll fix and repost Monday
