A few years back intel published a spec update:
http://www.intel.com/content/dam/doc/specification-update/5520-and-5500-chipset-ioh-specification-update.pdf
For the 5520 and 5500 chipsets which contained an errata (specificially errata
53), which noted that these chipsets can't properly do interrupt remapping, and
as a result the recommend that interrupt remapping be disabled in bios. While
many vendors have a bios update to do exactly that, not all do, and of course
not all users update their bios to a level that corrects the problem. As a
result, occasionally interrupts can arrive at a cpu even after affinity for that
interrupt has be moved, leading to lost or spurrious interrupts (usually
characterized by the message:
kernel: do_IRQ: 7.71 No irq handler for vector (irq -1)
There have been several incidents recently of people seeing this error, and
investigation has shown that they have system for which their BIOS level is such
that this feature was not properly turned off. As such, it would be good to
give them a reminder that their systems are vulnurable to this problem. For
details of those that reported the problem, please see:

Add the six routines required to setup interrupt remapping
with the AMD IOMMU. Also put it all together into the AMD
specific irq_remap_ops.
Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@amd.com>
The irq remapping tables for the AMD IOMMU need to be
aligned on a 128 byte boundary. Create a seperate slab-cache
to guarantee this alignment.

Move the ->irq_set_affinity() routines out of the #ifdef CONFIG_SMP
sections and use config_enabled(CONFIG_SMP) checks inside those
routines. Thus making those routines simple null stubs for
!CONFIG_SMP and retaining those routines with no additional
runtime overhead for CONFIG_SMP kernels.
Cleans up the ifdef CONFIG_SMP in and around routines related to
irq_set_affinity in io_apic and irq_remapping subsystems.
