+The new warning originates from acpi_get_override_irq, which I changed to
+use helper functions that warn when they fail.
+
+When IOAPICs and ACPI are enabled in a kernel and run on ACPI hardware
+that doesn't use the ioapics the pnp acpi code calls this function,
+looking for ACPI irq overrides. ACPI irq overrides exist only in the
+ioapic case so this function will never succeed. So make the function
+fail fast so we don't call into help functions that legitimately
+complain when they fail.
