Subject: Clean up misleading IA64 ACPI error message
From: George Beshers <gbeshers@xxxxxxxxx>
On Altix (sn2) machines the "Error parsing MADT" message is misleading
because the lack of IOSAPIC entries is expected.
Since I am sure someone will ask, I have been told that the chance of this
changing anytime soon is close to nil.
