2.1.82 does not offer any performance improvements for me when doing a
kernel build, it may be slower (though by little). The machine is a 2 way
P6DOF, 200Mhz 256kL2 P6's, 128MB ram. According to /proc/interrupts, all
interrupts occur on processor 0. My kernel boot messages are difficult
to capture on account of mounting root on a soft raid, the one that seemed
important is "IO-APIC cannot route PCI PIRQ 0-3" (copied from screen).
