Subject: [PATCH] smp-tbsync on 32-bit

From: Adrian Cox <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 17 Nov 2006 14:35:48 +0000

The patch below fixes an arithmetic wrap-around issue on 32bit machines
using smp-tbsync. Without this patch a timebase value over
0x000000007fffffff will hang the boot process while bringing up
secondary CPUs.
