    Greg, Konrad is referring to:

    commit 73d63d038ee9f769f5e5b46792d227fe20e442c5
    Author: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com>

    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
