    [IA64] allow user to force_pal_cache_flush · f13ae30e
    Alex Chiang authored
    The sequence executed in check_sal_cache_flush:
    
    	- pend a timer interrupt
    	- call SAL_CACHE_FLUSH
    	- see if interrupt is still pending
    
    can hang HP machines with buggy SAL_CACHE_FLUSH implementations.
    
    Provide a kernel command-line argument to allow users skip this
    check if desired. Using this parameter will force ia64_sal_cache_flush
    to call ia64_pal_cache_flush() instead of SAL_CACHE_FLUSH.
