Re: [BUG] 2.6.20-rc3-mm1: can not mount root: i386: sched_clock using init data tsc_disable fix

["Tomasz Kvarsin" <kvarsin@gmail.com>]

If anybody interesting this changes by Vivek Goyal:

-int tsc_disable __cpuinitdata = 0;
+int tsc_disable = 0;

fix for me booting, and except message
IRQ handler type mismatch for IRQ 7(is it normal?) and after that dump
of stack, all works fine.
