Subject: x86: hpet: Disable MSI on Lenovo W510
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
Date: Fri, 30 Sep 2011 20:03:37 +0200

MSI based per cpu timers lose interrupts when intel_idle() is enabled
- independent of the c-state. With idle=poll the problem cannot be
observed. We have no idea yet, whether this is a W510 specific issue
or a general chipset oddity. Blacklist the known problem machine.
