  • This patch adds support for clock synchronization to an external time
    reference (ETR). The external time reference sends an oscillator
    signal and a synchronization signal every 2^20 microseconds to keep
    the TOD clocks of all connected servers in sync. For availability
    two ETR units can be connected to a machine. If the clock deviates
    for more than the sync-check tolerance all cpus get a machine check
    that indicates that the clock is out of sync. For the lovely details
    how to get the clock back in sync see the code below.

  • Improved machine check handling. Kernel is now able to receive machine checks
    while in kernel mode (system call, interrupt and program check handling).
    Also register validation is now performed.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
