thanks for tracking this down. Could you check whether the problem is 
also fixed in latest -tip? In particular the tip/x86/apic branch should 
properly solve this. You can pick up -tip via:

  http://people.redhat.com/mingo/tip.git/README

but those tip/x86/apic fixes are too intrusive for v2.6.26, so i've 
queued up your revert into tip/x86/urgent, for v2.6.26 merging. Would be 
nice if you could check -tip though, to make sure we dont reintroduce 
the same problem again in v2.6.27.

	Ingo
