Title:
  FAILED [HIGH] KlogSratEntryUnsupported

Status in Firmware Test Suite:
  New

Bug description:
  Hello.

  I was running some early 14.04 Certrification tests on a Dell
  PowerEdge M620 with a recent (if not the latest) BIOS on it.

  Fwts logged one HIGH failure complaining about the Srat Entry being
  unsupported.   The error looks pretty minor but I wanted to run it by
  you guys just in case:

  klog: Scan kernel log for errors and warnings.
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Test 1 of 1: Kernel log error check.
  FAILED [HIGH] KlogSratEntryUnsupported: Test 1, HIGH Kernel message: [ 0.046680]
  Your BIOS is broken and requested that x2apic be disabled.

  ADVICE: The DMAR DMAR_X2APIC_OPT_OUT bit was set so the firmware requested that
  the x2apic should be disabled leading to decreased system performance. The
  firmware opt out can be overridden using the intremap=no_x2apic_optout kernel
  parameter.

  Full log attached as well as ACPIdump output.
