Subject: [PATCH] HPET: Remove the BKL.
Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2008 13:30:42 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1223625642-17610-1-git-send-email-davidjon@xenontk.org> (raw)

Can you review/check this patch? Compile tested only as I
don't have a machine with HPET.

CC'd: LKML.

From: David John <davidjon@xenontk.org>

Concurrent access is protected by the spin lock hpet_lock. The BKL
is not required.
