    The effect of the bug was that the timer generated twice as
    many interrupts, making the kernel's wall-clock timer twice
    as fast.

    There were no OOPS issues related with that patch. Therefore,
    your OOPS indicates dependencies on other changes in mpparse
    and/or the ACPI code. Why hack a 2.4.26 kernel in this way?
    Just put a 2.4.27 or 2.4.28-rc4 in there and be done with it :-)
