Subject: [RESEND] [PATCH 9/11] UML - Eliminate interrupts in the idle loop
[ The first version of this patch conflicted with the irqstack fix
merged last night - this is the fixed version ]
Now, the idle loop now longer needs SIGALRM firing - it can just sleep
for the requisite amount of time and fake a timer interrupt when it
finishes.
Any use of ITIMER_REAL now goes away. disable_timer only turns off
ITIMER_VIRTUAL. switch_timers is no longer needed, so it, and all
calls, goes away.
disable_timer now returns the amount of time remaining on the timer.
default_idle uses this to tell idle_sleep how long to sleep.
idle_sleep will call alarm_handler if nanosleep returns 0, which is
the case if it didn't return early due to an interrupt. Otherwise, it
just returns.
