Subject: [patch 3/6] PS3: os-area workqueue processing
Date: Sat, 06 Oct 2007 14:35:45 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071006213542.684568871@am.sony.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20071006213542.311447584@am.sony.com

Add a workqueue to the PS3 os-area support.  This is needed to
support writing updates to flash memory and to update the /proc
device tree entries from the timer tick interrupt context.
