Peter didn't mention here that the itimer/many thread patches cause a
race-condition panic which is easily reproduced (in fact unavoidable
with SLUB debugging on) on hyperthreaded ia64 systems (but certainly
possible on all systems).  Can we get this revert patch pulled in?  The
other attempts to fix this so far have been unsuccessful.  I have tested
with this revert patch and it does indeed fix that issue.

thanks,
