ioapic_insert_resources() is x86-specific, but I'm not sure why; it
seems like it does things that should be applicable to ia64 as well.

acpi_ioapic_add() is not x86-specific, and it is called from
acpi_pci_root_add() for the hot-add case. You're adding an
x86-xpecific call in pci_assign_unassigned_resources(). Why should
the hot-add case be for all arches, but the boot-time case only for
x86?
