fix the softlockup watchdog to actually work
patch a115d5caca1a2905ba7a32b408a6042b20179aaa in mainline. this Xen related commit: commit 966812dc98e6a7fcdf759cbfa0efab77500a8868 Author: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org> Date: Tue May 8 00:28:02 2007 -0700 Ignore stolen time in the softlockup watchdog broke the softlockup watchdog to never report any lockups. (!) print_timestamp defaults to 0, this makes the following condition always true: if (print_timestamp < (touch_timestamp + 1) || and we'll in essence never report soft lockups. apparently the functionality of the soft lockup watchdog was never actually tested with that patch applied ...
