2.6.25-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us
know.
------------------
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
commit 61c22c34c6f80a8e89cff5ff717627c54cc14fd4 upstream
The issue of the endless reprogramming loop due to a too small
min_delta_ns was fixed with the previous updates of the clock events
code, but we had no information about the spread of this problem. I
added a WARN_ON to get automated information via kerneloops.org and to
get some direct reports, which allowed me to analyse the affected
machines.
The WARN_ON has served its purpose and would be annoying for a release
kernel. Remove it and just keep the information about the increase of
the min_delta_ns value.
