There are a couple of things I don't understand on this one. And I presume you thought the other two bug fixing patches I sent before this were OK to go, since on my system Thomas Gleixner wrote: Still whitespace wreckage in your patches. I guess the kernel tree you made your patches

Correct potentially unstable PC RTC time register reading in time_64.c Stop the use of an incorrect technique for reading the standard PC RTC timer, which is documented to "disconnect" time registers from the bus while updates are in progress. The use of UIP flag while interrupts are disabled
