If you have two IOHs covered by one DRHD, it doesn't sound like the IOHs
are peers of one another.  Is this a core i5 system with a DRHD in the
processor?  Of maybe you're talking about one IOH and a subordinate ICH,
which could easily be covered by one DRHD.  The topology I'm trying to
support has multiple IOHs, which are peers of one another.  Interrupts
are not routed through a "primary" IOH, so it would seem to make no
sense (and I don't believe it would work) to include all the IOAPICs
under one of them.
