Well, I've been using code reading. No real hardware test.
I just don't have such a hardware.

I've a two pretty old laptops will check today if they
are discrete apic based systems.

Also I was thinking about spurious software tests --
ie to set discrete apic manually but actually I don't
think it will help.

And also I hoped that Ingo has a hw farm even with
discrete apic maybe... :)
