- uml-add-locking-to-xtime-accesses.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm@xxxxxxxx]

The patch titled

     uml: add locking to xtime accesses

has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename is

     uml-add-locking-to-xtime-accesses.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: uml: add locking to xtime accesses
From: Jeff Dike <jdike@xxxxxxxxxxx>

do_timer must be called with xtime_lock held.  I'm not sure boot_timer_handler
needs this, however I don't think it hurts: it simply disables irq and takes a
spinlock.
