Yup, it definitely fixed it up.

Weird that it didn't show at all on the 2 socket 20 core box the problem
I was looking into was reported on, but was 100% busted on the similar 2
socket 28 core box I borrowed to have a peek, and only that box.  My
(crippled/slow) 64 core DL980 was perfectly happy, as were my 3 home
boxen, not a peep from anywhere but that one 28 core box.

Hohum..  Tested-by: Mike Galbraith <umgwanakikbuti@xxxxxxxxx>
