[PATCH -mm] x86_64: Adjust the timing of initializing cyc2ns_scale.

From: Toyo Abe
Date: Fri Aug 25 2006 - 12:41:18 EST


The x86_64-mm-monotonic-clock.patch in 2.6.18-rc4-mm2 made a change to
the updating of monotonic_base. It now uses cycles_2_ns().

I suggest that a set_cyc2ns_scale() should be done prior to the setup_irq().
Because cycles_2_ns() can be called from the timer ISR right after the irq0
is enabled.
