This is the dynamic ticks patch for i386 as written by Tony Lindgen

Patch for 2.6.13-rc5
There were a couple of things that I wanted to change so here is an updated
version. This code should have stabilised enough for general testing now.
The sysfs interface was moved to its own directory
in /sys/devices/system/dyn_tick and split into separate files to
enable/disable dynamic ticks and usage of apic on the fly. It makes sense to
enable dynamic ticks and usage of apic by default if they're actually built
into the kernel so that is now done.
I am successfully running the dynamic tick patch on an old IBM ThinkPad
A22m. When I enable the APIC support console beeps, you know bash -c
'echo -e "\a"', takes a REALLY long time to finish. I'm assuming this
is a badly written program and not a kernel problem. Correct?
BTW: how do you know what HZ your machine is running at?
