The NMI test-suite has caught some badness:

That's an empty IPI mask. NOTE the boot parameters i used:

Kernel command line: root=/dev/sda1 
earlyprintk=ttyS0,115200,keep console=ttyS0,115200 debug 
initcall_debug enforcing=0 apic=verbose ignore_loglevel 
sysrq_always_enabled selinux=0 nmi_watchdog=0 3 panic=1 3 nosmp 
highres=0 highmem=512m pci=nomsi

i think 'nosmp' might be relevant.

Config attached.

Thanks,

	Ingo
