SubjectRe: X86_64: Many Lost ticks
Date
I haven't tried Andi's patch with noapic yet.  Will do that to see if it fixes the NMI and DMA timeouts.

And I have the latest available BIOS update applied.

May be related - once in 10 reboots (approx.) I get the K8 Errata #93 missing warning even with the updated BIOS - it's not consistent.
