Calgary is enabled in Intrepid desktop kernels, right now I am using 2.6.26-4 of course, I am trying to test a new DSDT table from Foxconn to fix many other errors their BIOS has, and possibly Linux bug(s) too.

I've been kicking e-mails back and forth between Matthew Garrett, I won't pretend to know exactly what Calgary is, but I don't believe it should be in stock kernel, just the SERVER kernel, unless I am missing something?

You've built a kernel that has CONFIG_CALGARY_IOMMU_ENABLED_BY_DEFAULT
set, and as a result it's attempting to probe for hardware you don't
have. This has nothing whatsoever to do with your ACPI tables. Calgary
is a piece of enterprise-level hardware that IBM ship on high-end
servers. If you've turned on that configuration options then you'll get
those messages whatever your ACPI tables say.
