no, this is fine. You've got a hpet clockevents driver and two lapic 
drivers:

Clock Event Device: hpet
 set_next_event: hpet_legacy_next_event
 set_mode:       hpet_legacy_set_mode
 event_handler:  tick_handle_oneshot_broadcast

Clock Event Device: lapic
 set_next_event: lapic_next_event
 set_mode:       lapic_timer_setup
 event_handler:  hrtimer_interrupt

Clock Event Device: lapic
 set_next_event: lapic_next_event
 set_mode:       lapic_timer_setup
 event_handler:  hrtimer_interrupt

to me this has the feeling of lapic breakage in C2 mode. Does it get any 
better if you boot with 'nolapic'? (but that might in turn turn off 
high-res timers and nohz in essence) Thomas, any ideas?
