[PATCH 5/6] SUNHME: Workaround ancient hang on U1's

From: Ben Collins
Date: Wed May 23 2007 - 22:06:58 EST


This work around has been in use by almost any distribution trying to
support sparc64 since at least 2002. Without it, sunhme hangs fairly
quickly on UltraSPARC 1's.

Dave, I know it's not in the kernel because it isn't a "fix", but given
that we haven't seen a fix in more than 5 years, can we get this out of my
tree please? :)
