Subject: [PATCH] Remove unnecessary irq disabling
Date: Tue, 1 May 2007 18:30:50 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070501213050.GD6119@redhat.com> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 316 bytes --]

RR asks us if it is really necessary to disable interrupts in
setup_secondary_APIC_clock(). The answer is no, since setup_APIC_timer()
starts by saving irq flags, which also disables them.
