Should be...

Let me get this straight - before this commit, the messages don't
appear, yes?

Looking at the hunk and AFAICT, it checks APIC_LVTTHMR[VEC] and it did
bail out if something was there != 0 before.

With this check removed, we go and actually init.

So I can imagine BIOS programming stuff in it already and us not even
initializing thermal throttling due to that. And this commit actually
*fixed* it on baremetal too.

But that would be crazy, BIOS would never do something like that?!</sarcasm>

Tony?
