[PATCH] [PARISC] fix WARNING: at kernel/cpu/idle.c:96

[James Bottomley]

On PA-RISC (and presumably any other arch that doesn't implement its own
arch_cpu_idle), we get this spurious boot warning.  The problem is that the
way the idle task is selected initially using the weak arch_cpu_idle() in
idle.c causes us to enter this place once with interrupts enabled.  Fix this
by disabling interrupts in the weak arch_cpu_idle() code.

Thomas, I'm getting a bit impatient: this is a clear bug in the cpu idle
code and we keep getting reports of this as a boot crash on parisc.  If
you don't push it through your tree, I'll take it through the parisc
one.
