Hehe. By the time I did 3.18-rt1 I was surprised that the disable-
lazy-preempt-on-x8664 was still there because I assumed it has been
fixed in the v3.14 series. So I left it as-is (including the broken
message) and wanted to drop later an eye on it. And after you dropped a
few patches to fix it I assumed (even more) that it is still broken :)
