[SMP BUG] [clockevents: i386 drivers patch] introduces irqbalance-does-not-work-properly problem

[Komuro <komurojun-mbn@nifty.com>]

Hi,


[clockevents: i386 drivers patch] introduces
  irqbalance-does-not-work-properly problem.

 
(The irq is not distributed to two Core
  ,most of the irq is distributed to CPU1)
 

 Mr. Thomas Gleixner,
 any idea to fix this problem?

>    [PATCH] clockevents: i386 drivers
>    
>    Add clockevent drivers for i386: lapic (local) and PIT/HPET (global).  Update
>    the timer IRQ to call into the PIT/HPET driver's event handler and the
>    lapic-timer IRQ to call into the lapic clockevent driver.  The assignement of
>    timer functionality is delegated to the core framework code and replaces the

>    
>    Use the clockevents broadcast support and implement the lapic_broadcast
>    function for ACPI.
>    
>    No changes to existing functionality.
