Ok. I think I am the culprit :(

Andi, Attached patch should fix the panic issue that Andrew encountered.
Andrew, please confirm.

Andi, if you are applying Ingo's genapic changes and reverting this quirk
changes in git, then there is no need to apply the appended patch.

Personally, I would like to go with Ingo's changes as it cleans up quite 
a bit of code.

thanks,

[patch] i386: Fix the verify_quirk_intel_irqbalance()

Fix the verify_quirk_intel_irqbalance(). genapic checks should really
happen only on affected versions of the E7520/E7320/E7525 based platforms.
