Subject: [PATCH] i386: Vmi timer race
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.21-rc1~184^2~64
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=90736e20e3805dd1ffff60e4750495944956cd44;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

[PATCH] i386: Vmi timer race

Because timer code moves around, and we might eventually move our init to a
late_time_init hook, save and restore IRQs around this code because it is
definitely not interrupt safe.
