4.9 Stable Crashes on SuperMicro with SMP

[Jonathan Gilpin]

Thanks. Another poster has sent me a memory testing program which I will try
tonight in the early hours. With 1 CPU enabled the box is completely stable.
There are no memory errors of any kind and all is fine.

Tonight I will enable the second CPU again and see if I can find out more
infomation... Could it be that a memory fault only occurr when the second
CPU is enabled (ie: when Option SMP and option APIC_IO is enabled in the
kernel)?

Jonathan
