    x86: I/O APIC: timer through 8259A second-chance · 691874fa
    Maciej W. Rozycki authored
    Some systems incorrectly report the ExtINTA pin of the I/O APIC as the
    genuine target of the timer interrupt.  Here is a change that copies timer
    pin information found to the other pin if one has been found only.  This
    way both a direct and a through-8259A route is tested with the pin letting
    these problematic systems work well enough.  If no timer pin information
    has been found for the I/O APIC, then local APIC variations are tried
    only, similarly to what is done without the change (except without the
    misleading messages).
    
    Obviously if we try the first-chance path without being told by the BIOS
    to do so, we should not complain either, so do not print the message in
    this case.
    
    The 64-bit variation should be updated with a call to
    replace_pin_at_irq() which can be done with the upcoming merge.  Since
    add_pin_to_irq() is now always called in the first-chance path, the
    condition to require it in the second-chance path no longer happens.
