Hi Johannes,

It will be not easy to revert since the commit was "preparing to merge"
apic_32/64.c. It rather seems there is a problem with timer(s) other then
APIC's one (ie PIT, HPET, PM). And since you're under kvm -- it could be
a corner case as well.

I've just booted a latest -tip with kvm without problems.
I've been using

Perhaps you could capture console with "debug apic=debug") and to gather
more info? And .config?
