Possibly.

Thats appears on both 2.6.22 and 2.6.23.

hrtimers seem to have worked on your system in 2.6.22 and not in
2.6.23 anymore. This patch should fix the incorrectly announced
/proc/net/psched timer resolution I mentioned earlier, causing HTB
to use larger burst rates by default, but that still won't be as
precise as with hrtimers.

Looking at the code, the reason for not using the lapic seems to
be nmi_watchdog=1:

+APIC timer registered as dummy, due to nmi_watchdog=1!
