Subject: Re: [PATCH] x86, efi: Don't recursively acquire rtc_lock
Date: Thu, 4 Aug 2011 04:04:41 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110804030441.GA25314@srcf.ucam.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4E3A17BD0200007800073FC5@nat28.tlf.novell.com>

Well, the rtc_lock is an implementation detail of x86, while we're 
aiming to make the EFI code as general as possible. So I can see the 
argument for moving it to the callers.
