Some SIS chipsets hang the machine when you migrate irq 0 to another
CPU. It's better to keep that Also I wouldn't be surprised if there are some
other assumptions about this elsewhere.

Ok in theory it could be done only on SIS, but that probably would really
not be worth the trouble

Agreed.

I just got a x8664-hrt report, where I found the following oddity:

0: 1197 172881 IO-APIC-edge timer

That's one of those infamous AMD C1E boxen. Strange, all my systems have IRQ#0 on CPU#0 and nowhere else. Any idea ?

tglx

Here I have with stock FC7 (2.6.22.9-91) kernel :
