Hi Linus,
A single fix for HyperV -- we never NEED the legacy PIC on HyperV, and
in kexec/kdump scenarios we don't always know that we originally
booted EFI. The right answer is probably to augment the legacy PIC
initialization code to detect a not-present PIC, but that is way too
high risk for right now.
The following changes since commit ca3ba2a2f4a49a308e7d78c784d51b2332064f15:
x86, hyperv: Bypass the timer_irq_works() check (2014-03-27 11:02:45 -0700)
