From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2008 13:42:15 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86: corruption check: run the corruption checks from a work queue
the periodic corruption checks are better off run from a work queue; there's nothing time critical about them and this way the amount of interrupt-context work is reduced.
