x86 quirk: Fix polarity for IRQ0 pin2 override on SB800 systems 2011-03-07T23:05:12+00:00 Andreas Herrmann andreas.herrmann3@amd.com 2011-02-24T14:53:46+00:00 64e8cdcc476ee10293ed205febbc9703c8ea1d0e commit 7f74f8f28a2bd9db9404f7d364e2097a0c42cc12 upstream. On some SB800 systems polarity for IOAPIC pin2 is wrongly specified as low active by BIOS. This caused system hangs after resume from S3 when HPET was used in one-shot mode on such systems because a timer interrupt was missed (HPET signal is high active).

When SMP_ON_UP is used and the spinlocks are inlined, we end up with inline spinlocks in the exit code, with references from the SMP alternatives section to the exit sections.
