-gerrit commit 1b30ff69f083f2416abfa0f0977ea315368d28e6 Author: Sven Schnelle <sv...@stackframe.org> Date: Wed Jun 29 15:05:28 2011 +0200 i82801gx: read RTC status register to prevent IRQ storm My Thinkpad appeared dead. After investigation, it turned out that the RTC Alarm was triggering an RTC PM1 SMI, but the SMI handler didn't read the status register, so it was triggered again. This is a really nasty situation, as it means you have to dissemble your Notebook just to unplug the RTC battery.
