There is a known incompatibility between AMD 76x northbridges and VIA southbridges which makes IO-APIC mode unreliable. (See AMD's errata sheets for details.)
The question is: can the Linux kernel run PCI detection before IO-APIC initialisation, so as to prevent IO-APIC mode on mainboards using this configuration?
Alternatively we could list known problem boards in the DMI blacklist table, but this is clearly an inferior solution.
