Yeah. I have to say, that with my main goal for 2.6.20 being a stability
release, and the APIC setup scaring me too, I'm starting to strongly lean
towards just reverting the thing, and then having this whole thing
re-introduced early during the 2.6.21 cycle with the new information we
have (ie the clues about exactly why the dang thing broke in the first
place).
After all, the only reason I didn't want to revert the commit initially
was that it did clean things up, and I wanted to understand why it didn't
work. I think we understand why it caused problems, and I think we can fix
them, but on the other hand, we're already deep into -rc4 with this, so
let's just revert for now and then clean it up correctly after the 2.6.20
release.
