Some kind of hint?
Greg, Konrad is referring to:
commit 73d63d038ee9f769f5e5b46792d227fe20e442c5 Author: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Date: Mon Mar 12 11:36:33 2012 -0700
x86/ioapic: Add register level checks to detect bogus io-apic entries
With out this commit, if the bios lists bogus io-apic's, then we will see some error messages ("Unable to reset IRR for apic")during linux boot which are benign. But as this patch breaks Xen, I am ok if these don't get applied to 'stable'. Also I think it is Ingo who added the 'stable' tag. Ingo, are you ok with this?
For the mainline, we have queued more patches to fix the Xen breakage.
thanks, suresh
