The patch titled i386: PIT stop only, when in periodic or oneshot mode has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was i386-pit-stop-only-when-in-periodic-or-oneshot-mode.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: i386: PIT stop only, when in periodic or oneshot mode From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> The patch is necessary on one of my boxen, where programming the stop sequence twice leads to PIT malfunction.
