| |
2.6.37-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Tim Deegan <Tim.Deegan@citrix.com>
commit 70a062286b9dfcbd24d2e11601aecfead5cf709a upstream.
Fixes a hang when booting as dom0 under Xen, when jiffies can be quite large by the time the kernel init gets this far.
