      [PATCH] time initialisation fix · 88fecaa2

      We're not reay to take a timer interrupt until timekeeping_init() has run.
      But time_init() will start the time interrupt and if it is called with
      local interrupts enabled we'll immediately take an interrupt and die.
      
      Fix that by running timekeeping_init() prior to time_init().
      
      We don't know _why_ local interrupts got enabled on Jesse Brandeburg's
      machine.  That's a separate as-yet-unsolved problem.  THe patch adds a little
      bit of debugging to detect that.
      
      This whole requirement that local interrupts be held off during early boot
      keeps on biting us.
