Subject: [PATCH -rt 0/2] Get x86_64 running with PREEMPT_RT

The following two patches get PREEMPT_RT running on x86_64. I'm currently
writing this from my x86_64 box running 2.6.16-rt23.

The first patch probably only affected me, since it was caused by
having clocksource=XXX in the command line.

The other patch simply fixes a bad condition in the default_idle
which prevented the idle task from ever scheduling (that was bad!)
