The patch titled revert x86-deterine-xapic-using-apic-version has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is revert-x86-deterine-xapic-using-apic-version.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this From: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxx> Revert 7c5c1e427b5e83807fd05419d1cf6991b9d87247: Checking APIC version instead of CPU family to determine XAPIC. Family 6 CPU could have xapic as well.

I tracked up changes in APIC code, and it appears reverting commit 7c5c1e427b5e83807fd05419d1cf6991b9d87247 fixes this bug.
