The APIC error is something that possibly nothing can be done
about. The board was designed such that it will trigger this every
so-many-thousand interrupts.
It has to do with the Vtt supply. If that one is too low, the errors
occur more frequently.
Make sure that you really, really run the very latest kernel. Possibly
even with Jens' patch (I'm not sure if it went in yet). That's to prevent
corruption in your test-case.
