I think this message about the bug is related to wrong ACPI IRQ ovveride entries.
Usually there are two IRQ overrides. IRQ0 override means that IRQ0 is not
connected to pin 0 on APIC but to another, most likely pin 2. Check the figure
above why. Second IRQ override is for ACPI IRQ. This overrides the 'level' of
the interrupt to 'active low'. The rest of the table is filled with NMI entries
for the processor.

Hope it helps,
