SubjectRe: [discuss] [PATCH 4/4] x86_64 ioapic: Improve the heuristics for when check_timer fails.

I have such a machine that showed this problem and when I wrote the patch I
tested it on it (and on a couple of others of course). No twice as fast on
my testing.

In fact there are two types of ATI machines: ones that have a BIOS workaround
for the original Linux issue and ones that don't. Keeping both
happy is not easy.

So I'm somewhat dubious on that. Where is that report?

I agree. It's more problematical than I expected. Reverting is
the best option right now.
