Re: [PATCH] gettimeofday stability

Yes, currently the decrementer interrupt assumes that it is the only user.
This is quite simple however, use a while() {} instead of a do {}
while() in the loop that catches up on pending decrementer interrupts.
Paulus already pushed such a patch to the bk repository (last week I
think). He rewrote the pmac lost_interrupts stuff to use the DEC to cause
interrupts.
