complete dmesg (which will have the platform, io-apic version info etc)
will be useful.

If we are seeing this during a regular boot and for the all the RTE
entries for a specific io-apic, most likely something is wrong with that
io-apic (probably a bogus one listed by the bios?). We should be able to
make the kernel code bit more smart to workaround this.
