There appears to be at least one bug (that is longstanding but might be
made worse by the MSR stuff). However, that one should matter only with
preemption enabled. What's your configuration?

Also, do you actually have a new library that uses SYSENTER (ie recent
redhat beta), and whct kind of CPU do you have?
