It is more appropriate in this context because TSC MSR is reset to zero
when the CPU is restarted from S3 and above. Move acpi_resync_clock() back
to where it was before r211202. It does not make a difference any more.
Interrupt driven configuration hooks serve two purposes: they are a
mechanism for registering for a callback that is invoked once interrupt
services are available, and they hold off root device selection so long
as any configuration hooks are still active. Before this change, it was
not possible to safely register additional hooks from the context of a
configuration hook callback. The need for this feature arises when
interrupts are required to discover new devices (e.g. access to the XenStore
to find para-virtualized devices) which in turn also require the ability
to hold off root device selection until some lengthy, interrupt driven,
configuration task has completed (e.g. Xen front/back device driver
negotiation).
More specifically, the mutex protecting the list of active configuration
hooks is never held during a callback, and static information is used
to ensure proper ordering and only a single callback to each hook even
when faced with registration or removal of a hook during an active run.

second and we used to lose up to one second whenever we initialize system
time from RTC or write system time back to RTC. With this change, margin
of error per conversion is roughly between -0.5 and +0.5 second rather
than between -1 and 0 second. Note that it does not take care of errors
from getnanotime(9) (which is up to 1/hz second) or CLOCK_GETTIME() latency.
These are just too expensive to correct and it is not worthy of the cost.

2. While doing dirty bit emulation, it is not necessary to update the
TLB entry on all CPUs using smp_rendezvous(), we can just update the
TLB entry on the current CPU, and let the other CPUs update their TLB
entry lazily if they get an exception.

If it does, don't then try reprogramming the NF "cap" values (ie
what values are the "maximum" value the NF can be) - instead,
just leave the current CCA value as the NF cap.
This was inspired by some similar work from ath9k. It isn't
a 100% complete solution (as there may be some reason where a
high NF CCA/cap is written, causing the baseband to stop thinking it
is able to transmit, leading to stuck beacon and interface reset)

flag immediately so it's only set once per longcal interval.
Without this, the current AR5416 code will continuously spam NF
calibrations during a periodic calibration if the longcal flag
is set. The longcal flag wouldn't be cleared until the calibration
method indicates that calibrations are "complete".
This drops the rate of NF calibration updates down from "once every
shortcal" (ie, every 100ms) during a periodic calibration, to only
once per "longcal" interval. Spamming NF calibrations every 100ms
caused some potentially horrific issues in noisy environments as
NF calibrations can take longer than 100ms and this spamming can
cause invalid NF calibration results to be read back - leading to
missed beacons, and thus leading to a stuck beacon situation.
Stuck beacons cause interface resets, which restart calibrations.
This means that the longcal calibration runs every 100ms (shortcal)
until all initial calibrations are completed. This spamming can then
cause the above issues which leads to stuck beacons, leading to
interface resets, etc, etc. Quite annoying.
Now we use a regular mutex instead of a spin mutex. When we enter and exit
