No worries, no sorries needed for this (I know you fight to get things done). I can't really say what is w/o Eric's patch. As I replied to the BR #17772: I added "lapic" boot-parameter as a result of a perf/NMI patch. With both things "WorksForMe" I headed to other stuff in kernel development :-). I was not aware that there was further discussion on the initial patch.
