> Small patch? You mean this? http://git.kernel.org/linus/7c45512df9. Smells like a security fix in disguise. Any more details on this "small patch"? Like what are those "very specific kernel command line options"?

In http://lkml.org/lkml/2013/2/13/149 Ingo Molnar first described his problem, mentioning these options:

CONFIG_CMDLINE="nmi_watchdog=0 nolapic_timer hpet=disable idle=poll highmem=512m acpi=off"
