Hi all,

I attached dmesg and config , both from working 2.6.26-rc5 with git-acpi patch 
below and from linux-next snapshot 20080604.
I also attached acpidump that was done while using stock 2.6.25-fw5 from my 
distro. (But I think that doesnt matter, at least it shouldn't ;)

To clarify myself:
2.6.25.5:  --> relatively fast no IOAPIC Errors in dmesg
2.6.26-rc5:   --> relatively  no IOAPIC Errors in dmesg
2.6.26-rc5 + git-acpi Patch:   --> relatively  no IOAPIC Errors in dmesg
2.6.26-rc5 +  linux-next snapshot 20080604 --> even slower than before my ide 
Patch many "unable to locate IOAPIC" Errors


So I think the problem lies not in the acpi tree but somewhre else.

Is it possible to tell git to explicitly _exclude_ a specific tree while 
bisecting?
