x86: calibrate delay with irqs enabled
We do it to make it close to x86_64. The later needs it, otherwise the nmi watchdog can get into the scene and kill us with a hammer. Enabling irqs here used to trigger a bug in i386. This is because time irq handling relies upon structures that are only initialized after smp initcalls (More precisely, it will find per_cpu(hrtimer_bases, cpu)->cb_pending list not initialized and crash) Signed-off-by: Glauber Costa <gcosta@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
