RE: Bogomips and loops_per_jiffy

Troy,
with the patch, now, it completely hangs.
The reason is that in timer_interrupt()

	while ((next_dec = tb_ticks_per_jiffy - tb_delta(&jiffy_stamp)) < 0)
{  

Now that next_dec is unsigned, this condition is always false.

Here is another patch I suggest to replace yours.
Its in attachement to this email.
I tested it, and it seems OK.

I did not include your modification made to the type of local variables in
function do_settimeofday().
I do not see how it is related to our problem.
