On a 4-socket Brickland system, hot-removing one ioapic is fine.
Hot-removing the 2nd one causes panic in mp_unregister_ioapic()
while calling release_resource().
It is because the iomem_res pointer has already been released
when removing the first ioapic.
To explain the use of &res[num] here: res is assigned to ioapic_resources,
and later in ioapic_insert_resources() we do:
struct resource *r = ioapic_resources;
for_each_ioapic(i) {
insert_resource(&iomem_resource, r);
r++;
}
Here 'r' is treated as an arry of 'struct resource', and the r++ ensures
that each element of the array is inserted separately. Thus we should call
release_resouce() on each element at &res[num].
Fix it by assigning the correct pointers to ioapics[i].iomem_res in
ioapic_setup_resources().
