Re: [XenPPC] [PATCH] Fix Maple SMP spurious interrupts assert

[Jimi Xenidis <jimix@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am not familiar with "SMP spurious interrupts assert"
           panic("Too many (%d) spurrious interrupts in a row\n"
                  "  Known problem, please halt and let machine idle/ 
cool "
                  "  then reboot\n",
                  100);
message?
That is independent of SMP, we get that in UP as well.
I'm willing to believe that this patch will make it so the panic does  
not happen.

Sure, I can even run one dom, but at some point my 405 either halts  
or resets the 970s
at seemingly random points.
I also get:
  PIBS $ Error: Magic number in message area NVRAM is not valid.
  Error: Magic number in message area NVRAM is not valid.
  Error: Magic number in message area NVRAM is not valid.

Which makes me a little woried that we have a wild write somewhere.

I send a suggestion for this patch.. I will attempt that as well.
