Followup to this:  with 2.4.21-rc7-ac1, I get very different
behavior.  If I boot with noapic, my machine goes into an endless loop
of

   APIC error on CPU0: 40(40)

errors.  If I boot regularly (APIC enabled), everything is fine.  My
machine has been up for almost a full day without a single lost
interrupt message.  This, BTW, is with ACPI enabled in both cases.
