It's nice to know if we take that path. Actually most dom0 boots will get
one or two WARN_BOGUS_WRITE() outputs (modifying IO-APIC pin for in-use
IRQ), of course they're almost always benign, and hence it's rather up to
you if you want to quieten that down for use in your product. But the
messages aren't too scary-looking, I think.
