** Description changed:

+ SRU Justification
+ 
+ Impact: When applying the Xen patchset one endif seems to have gone to
+ the wrong place. So instead of not setting sched_clock_stable it is done
+ all the time.
+ 
+ Fix: Move endif so the whole code segment is covered.
+ 
+ Testcase: Can cause various effects and depends on CPU (see below).
+ Incorrect CPU time but likely also causing the unexplainable process
+ gets stuck or clone/fork issues.

  Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS
  Ubuntu 2.6.32-312.24-ec2 2.6.32.27+drm33.12

  We are experiencing impossibly high (thousands of days) accumulated CPU
  times for processes in ps and top when using the above kernel on Amazon
  EC2.
  
  Instances running on Intel E5430 are fine, while instances on E5507 all seem 
to have the problem.

  Thanks,
  Doug
