[PATCH] HPET: Remove the BKL.

From: David John
Date: Fri Oct 10 2008 - 04:00:59 EST


Can you review/check this patch? Compile tested only as I
don't have a machine with HPET.

CC'd: LKML.

From: David John <davidjon@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Concurrent access is protected by the spin lock hpet_lock. The BKL
is not required.
