Subject: [PATCH 4/6] x86: Raise vsyscall priority on hotplug notifier chain
Date: Fri, 18 Dec 2009 16:48:45 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1261126127-9603-5-git-send-email-sheng@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1261126127-9603-1-git-send-email-sheng@linux.intel.com>

KVM need vsyscall_init() to initialize MSR_TSC_AUX before it read the value.
Per Avi's suggestion, this patch raised vsyscall priority on hotplug notifier
chain, to 30.
