Subject[076/165] x86, ioapic: Fix potential resume deadlock
2.6.39-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
Content-Length: 1478
Lines: 44

From: Daniel J Blueman <daniel.blueman@gmail.com>

commit b64ce24daffb634b5b3133a2e411bd4de50654e8 upstream.

Fix a potential deadlock when resuming; here the calling
function has disabled interrupts, so we cannot sleep.

Change the memory allocation flag from GFP_KERNEL to GFP_ATOMIC.

TODO: We can do away with this memory allocation during resume
by reusing the ioapic suspend/resume code that uses boot time
allocated buffers, but we want to keep this -stable patch
simple.
