First bad commit ? The commit adds a WARN_ON to getnstimeofday() when
it is called while timekeeping is suspended. So instead of pointing to
that commit can we please figure out WTF this happens?

Looking at the call stack this is pretty obvious:

[ee4fdc80] [c0053b10] do_gettimeofday+0x1c/0x58
[ee4fdcb0] [c0348868] evdev_event+0x28/0x158
[ee4fdce0] [c0340ce4] input_pass_event+0xac/0xb0
[ee4fdd00] [c0343a44] input_event+0x80/0x98
[ee4fdd20] [c02f6d24] via_pmu_event+0x88/0x8c
[ee4fdd30] [c02f4f60] via_pmu_interrupt+0x6e0/0xb2c
[ee4fdd90] [c02f5664] pmu_wait_complete+0x50/0x84
[ee4fddb0] [c02f6764] powerbook_sleep+0x9f0/0xb24
[ee4fde40] [c00607f8] suspend_devices_and_enter+0x10c/0x180
[ee4fde60] [c0060a1c] enter_state+0x11c/0x160
[ee4fde80] [c02f4404] pmu_ioctl+0x15c/0x24c
[ee4fde90] [c00bab04] vfs_ioctl+0x8c/0x90
[ee4fdea0] [c00babb8] do_vfs_ioctl+0x8c/0x70c
[ee4fdf10] [c00bb2d4] sys_ioctl+0x9c/0xa4
[ee4fdf40] [c0012eb8] ret_from_syscall+0x0/0x38

powerbook_sleep() calls into the event interface which calls
gettimeofday() _AFTER_ timekeeping was suspended already so the
WARN_ON triggers.

Thanks,
