From: Steve Rutherford <srutherford@xxxxxxxxxx> Fixes a NULL pointer dereference, caused by the PIT firing an interrupt before the interrupt table has been initialized. SET_PIT2 can race with the creation of the IRQchip. In particular, if SET_PIT2 is called with a low PIT timer period (after the creation of the IOAPIC, but before the instantiation of the irq routes), the PIT can fire an interrupt at an uninitialized table.
