[PATCH 2.4] load average fix for lasat boards (timer interrupt handling fix)

[Brian Murphy]

Hi Florian, Ralf,
	it seems the method of calling the new time code changed
or it was wrong all along, This patch fixes the problem of the
ksoftirqd running all the time on Lasat systems, can you apply
Ralf?
