ACPI: fix boot hang w/o "noapic" on MSI MS-6390-L
This is a workaround to handle a BIOS bug where the programmer exchanged the name and index fields of a _PRT entry. Apparently this BIOS error does not confuse Windows and thus it lurks in the field on various machines. boot with "acpi=strict" to disable this workaround http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6859 Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shaohua.li@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
