Subject: [PATCH 1/2] gdth: fix timer handling
Date: Sun, 04 May 2008 22:34:49 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1209958489.16283.39.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

The global timer handling is problematic in that if someone unbinds a
PCI gdth instance, the BUG_ON() in the timer will cause a panic.

Fix this by making the timer start and stop depending on whether there
are instances present.  This should also permit binding and unbinding
to work.
