Subject: 8254 APIC broken? with P6DNF

I've got 3.0-CURRENT running on a dual p-pro SuperMicro P6DNF motherboard,
the system works fine, but when it comes up the kernel says:

"
APIC_IO: Testing 8254 interrupt delivery
APIC_IO: Broken MP table detected: 8254 is not connected to IO APIC int pin
2
APIC_IO: routing 8254 via 8259 on pin 0
"

I can understand what this means (I think ;-) - And I would guess theres no
way of 'fixing' it, apart from the workaround the system's installed, but
should I be worried about it?

Everything seems to work fine... I'd guess at the end of the day it might be
a performance degrading workaround? - But so long as it works ;-)

Regards,

Karl Pielorz
