Subject: [PATCH] [IA64] idle: delete (*idle)()
Date: Fri, 29 Mar 2013 18:02:30 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5155d7361472244cb0@agluck-desk.sc.intel.com> (raw)

From: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

Commit 3e7fc708eb
	ia64 idle: delete pm_idle
in 3.9-rc1 didn't finish the job, leaving an un-initialized
reference to (*idle)().

Reported-by: Lars-Peter Clausen <lars@metafoo.de>
Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

[Haven't seen a crash from this - but seems like we are
 just being lucky that "idle" is zero so it does get
 initialized before we jump to randomland]
