    [PATCH] critical x86-64 merge · e30b878a
    Andi Kleen authored
    There were some nasty bugs in the x86-64 code, including one race that
    could cause random reboots, especially on Intel machines, with the NMI
    watchdog.  This patch fixes them and also includes some harmless
    cleanups.
    
    Main fixes were for some buglets in the IOMMU code and the plugging of a
    race in the exception stack handling.  Also disables an broken MCE on K8
    explicitely.
    
    Also finally the preempt compile issues are fixed.
    
     - Declare hpet interrupt separately in drivers/char/rtc.c
     - Fix rtc.h/hpet.h to not depend on interrupt.h
     - Finally include smp_lock.h in hardirq.h
     - Update defconfig

     - Fix dma mask handling in pci_alloc_consistent
