Without this patch, dmi_scan.c does not apply a workaround for my
motherboard + bios version, and my timer is XT-PIC instead of
IO-APIC-edge. My bios is more recent than the other entry in the table
for my motherboard.
Patch against 2.6.9-rc2-bk8. The patch will need to be massaged as I was
unsure whether the motherboard id fields were supposed to be unique.
ie from:
CPU0
0: 2212265 XT-PIC timer
1: 2677 IO-APIC-edge i8042
8: 2 IO-APIC-edge rtc
9: 0 IO-APIC-level acpi
to:
CPU0
0: 157481 IO-APIC-edge timer
1: 285 IO-APIC-edge i8042
8: 3 IO-APIC-edge rtc
9: 0 IO-APIC-level acpi
