As the I/O APIC is part of the chipset's south-bridge it's actually VIA  
rather than Gigabyte that is to be blamed for the bug. In any case your  
assumption does make some sense in my opinion, although I frankly wouldn't  
have expected a global player like VIA to make such blunders.

Actually the trion kernel doesn't even print the local APIC address, what  
you posted is the location of the multiprocessor configuration table..
