This would only happen in PREEMPT_RT .
does it happen with the latest kernel too? There were a couple of things
broken in the IOAPIC code in various earlier versions.

Is this why I have been able to boot the latest versions without the
noapic option (and without noticeable keyboard repeat problems) or has
it just been dumb luck?
