Hang with isync

[Liu Dave-r63238]

First, you must make sure if it really happen at watchdog timer
exception.
if it is, you need select one suitable way to fix it.
Second, I don't believe the sync-isync instructions make it happen.
you can try the 2.6, I don't know if 2.6 kernel can resolve your
problem.

________________________________

	Dave, watchdog timeout is around one second and no cpu activity
for that long is something wrong. Is it ok to disable it to hide the
problem lying somewhere else? Do you think it can be because of
sync-isync instructions and moving to 2.6 might resolve it?

				This is the MSR and it has the user-mode
bit set, which is surely wrong.
				This is not how one gets to user space. 
				
				00048000
				
				The MSR had this or'ed into it, which is
setting the user-mode bit.
				Surely that's wrong.
