You aren't crazy, it doesn't build here either. The problem is that
fixmap.h only includes those defines if CONFIG_IO_APIC is defined.
Well, I don't have use IO_APIC (I am UP) but I do define
CONFIG_X86_APIC. So it does not compile.

So, the problem is that acpitable.c assumes you have both CONFIG_IO_APIC
and CONFIG_X86_APIC declared. It shouldn't. Even more important, why
is my system compiling acpitable.c now? I don't compile anything to do
with ACPI. What needs access to the ACPI tables via Mini-ACPI, now?
