                   -------------------
    This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.

                   -------------------

commit 70a062286b9dfcbd24d2e11601aecfead5cf709a upstream.

Fixes a hang when booting as dom0 under Xen, when jiffies can be
quite large by the time the kernel init gets this far.
