[ltp] T41p and IO-APIC?

[Nils]

Is it possible to use IO-APIC with the T41p?

My current configuration:
cat /proc/interrupts
           CPU0
  0:    6191496    XT-PIC-XT        timer
  1:      79120    XT-PIC-XT        i8042
  2:          0    XT-PIC-XT        cascade
  3:          2    XT-PIC-XT
  7:          0    XT-PIC-XT        parport0
(..)
LOC:    9202044   Local timer interrupts
(...)

Another one (but no thinkpad):
           CPU0
  0:        108   IO-APIC-edge      timer
  1:          2   IO-APIC-edge      i8042
  9:          0   IO-APIC-fasteoi   acpi
(..)


- Do I need a Bios-Update?
- Can I force IO-APIC with a kernel option?
