Subject: Warning in Genapic code on x86-64

Since the first 2.6.25 kernel I could boot on my system (2.6.25-rc8) I've had 
this warning. I thought I'd seen a patch go in that fixed it, but apparently 
not.

System is a Dell laptop - one of the "new" ones that ships with Linux, with 
Linux reinstalled (since they ship 32bit and I'd prefer to use the full power 
of the processor).

i915 chipset, Core2 Duo processor - warning repeats, apparently almost exactly 
the same, on both cores. I'll update to latest git and will test any patches 
to fix this.

...On a related note, I'm also, now, getting the following when booting a 
kernel based on a git pulled in last night (b69d3987f4...cdd0cc204b79e)

If needed I'll make the full dmesg&config available.
