Re: boot time scheduling while atomic

Hi

I came to the same idea. This explains as well why the i386 party does
not notice the effect, as their first interrupt happen later (different
HZ value)

FYI, i386 party's kernel_thread function calls do_fork directly, however, do_fork is called via syscall trap(clone syscall) in powerpc.
So, this difference may be taken place.

IMHO, from this point of view, the real fix for this problem is change the way to implement kernel_thread function of PowerPC like as other architecture does.
