I patched 2.0.35 with 2.0.36-pre-patch-17 and compiled with SMP.

When I boot up, the kernel floods the screen with the following:

IRQ 0: done by CPU 1

Occasionally it spits out the following:

IRQ 1: done by CPU 1

These messages are interspersed with the normal boot up messages.
The file arch/i386/kernel/irq.c contains the message code.

I did not enable the, Handle buggy SMP BIOSes with bad MTRR setup, as
my 2 CPU's have always reported around 165-166 bogomips.
I lost about 0.82 bogomips on my second cpu with the patched kernel.
Everything seems to be working fine. The problem seems mainly cosmetic.
I had no reason to patch. Just figured I'd give it a spin. I do not
subscribe to the list. E-mail ldurham@spsu.edu with questions.
