Re: [PATCH 2.6.21-rt7] PowerPC: fix clockevents for classic CPUs

* We must write a positive value to the decrementer to clear
- * the interrupt on the IBM 970 CPU series. In periodic mode,
- * this happens when the decrementer gets reloaded later, but
- * in one-shot mode, we have to do it here since an event handler
- * may skip loading the new value...
+ * the interrupt on POWER4+ compatible CPUs.

No, it is *not* only on POWER4+ compatible CPUs. Sigh.
