HP XU 6/200 DP SMP == success with "noapic".

Alan suggested to some poor hapless BP6 dual Celery owner that "noapic"
might help. For giggles, I used noapic on my HP SMP box where I've been
deprived of the extra processor for some time.

So here's my HP SMP box dmesg, booting with two processors for the first
time since 2.2.10. The "noapic" setting suggests that the APIC code needs a
little more debugging, or a HP braindeath compatibility checker, or since
I'm so unbelievably happy, just a note in Documentation somewhere saying
that HP XU 6/xxx SMP PPro's just need "noapic" to boot with both processors.
Also, it seems that my bogomips value more than doubled from what I expect
for two PPro 200's from ~ 400 to ~ 800. Not a biggie, but I'm sooooo happy.
:-) :-)
