[PATCH] UML - Change timer initialization

From: Jeff Dike
Date: Mon May 01 2006 - 17:45:38 EST


This is definite 2.6.17 material...

As of rc3-mm1, inet_init, which schedules, is called before the UML timer_init,
which sets up the timer. The result is the interval timers being manipulated
before the appropriate signal handlers are established, causing unhandled
timers.

This is fixed by making timer_init be called earlier.
