Subject: [RHEL5.1 PATCH]: Remove __initdata from tscsync
Date: Wed, 17 Jan 2007 11:09:12 -0500
Bugzilla: 223017
Message-Id: <20070117160912.25299.36808.sendpatchset@prarit.boston.redhat.com>
Changelog: [cpufreq] Remove __initdata from tscsync


The tscsync variable is declared as __initdata but is accessed post-init.  This
causes a panic.

This is a very low-risk patch which simply removes __initdata from tscsync.

Resolves BZ 223017.
