Hi Rafael,

I've been continuing Junien's investigations into this problem.  The
machines have had all the BIOS and firmware updates I could find on HP's
website (although in the case of a DL385-G7 the latest appears to be
February 2014!)  One of them only lasted a day before crashing again.

So, step 2 was to add "nox2apic intremap=off" to the DL385-G7s.  I added
it to only one of them initially.  That machine lasted 9 days before we
had another kernel panic ("NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#27 stuck
for 23s! [migration/27:200]"), but after the panic it seems to have
settled back down again (without any reboot).

I've also added "intremap=no_x2apic_optout" to one of the DL360-G8s
after it crashed a couple of days ago.  So far, it's doing ok.

I''m tempted to try upgrading them to linux-image-generic-lts-wily
(currently 4.2.0.18.13) unless there's any information from the current
setup that could be useful.
