Actually, if the full version register were zero, it would not have had 
24 IRQs (irqs 0-23 part), so I'm not sure what it is doing.  0.3 isn't 
really a valid APIC version AFAIK either, though I'm more familiar with 
the versions used in Intel APICs (usually 1.1, 1.2, or 2.0).

Boot with 4g or boot an i386 version and get acpidump -t output.
