[PATCH 3/4] kgdb,clocksource: Prevent kernel hang in kernel debugger
This is a regression fix against: 0f8e8ef7c204988246da5a42d576b7fa5277a8e4 Spin locks were added to the clocksource_resume_watchdog() which cause the kernel debugger to deadlock on an SMP system frequently. The kernel debugger can try for the lock, but if it fails it should continue to touch the clocksource wat... 26 Jan 2010 00:02

[PATCH 11/12] ACPI: processor: push file static MADT pointer into internal map_madt_entry()
There's no real need for a pointer to the MADT to be global. The only function who uses it is map_madt_entry. This allows us to remove some more ugly #ifdefs.
