SubjectNForce2 + linux 2.6.3-rc2 + acpi,apic patches
Hi,

I have noticed two patches in Andrew Morton's tree, 2.6.3-rc1-mm1, that may be
helpful for me and other nforce 2 users. The two patches are
nforce-irq-setup-fix.patch
8259-timer-ack-fix.patch

I have compiled 2.6.3-rc2 with those two patches included. Here is
/proc/interrupts after reboot:
0: 2347129 local-APIC-edge timer
1: 6604 IO-APIC-edge i8042
2: 0 XT-PIC cascade
4: 4458 IO-APIC-edge serial
7: 0 IO-APIC-edge parport0
8: 1 IO-APIC-edge rtc
9: 0 IO-APIC-level acpi
14: 4456 IO-APIC-edge ide0
15: 17 IO-APIC-edge ide1
20: 239364 IO-APIC-level eth0, ohci_hcd
21: 0 IO-APIC-level ehci_hcd, NVidia nForce2
22: 0 IO-APIC-level ohci_hcd


Timer is now local-APIC-edge instead of XT-PIC. Seems to be better now. I've
checked to see if the problem with large clock time gain returned. So far, it
seems to be perfectly synced with my watch.

I don't know if local-APIC or IO-APIC are really any different with the timer.
If there is something I should know about the difference, someone please let
me know =)

Also, here's a snippet from dmesg:
enabled ExtINT on CPU#0
ESR value before enabling vector: 00000000
ESR value after enabling vector: 00000000

Thanks Ross and Maciej for the patches!
