I don't know if they can; they're quite possibly still being written.  
I'll ask our source and see what they can come up with.

Is it possible that this might be a new APIC?  Any suggestions on part 
numbers to look for on the board?  Anything in the SMP kernel output to 
look for that would identify it?

The inference here is of course that if there's more than one APIC, we 
have trouble because we run out of room in the interrupt mask, correct?
