+# Work around glitchy timer0 on the AST2050
+# For an unknown reason, sometimes when timer0
+# expires it does not fire an IRQ.  This in turn
+# causes Linux to hang waiting for the timer to
+# expire, causing all nanosleep calls to stall
+# indefinitely.  On a stock OpenBMC system, this
+# manifests as a spontanous reboot every few hours
+# of uptime as the watchdog timer kicks in.
+#
+# This script works around the problem by watching
+# timer0 and seeing if it is stuck at 0.  If so, it
+# gives the afflicted timer a good kick in the rear
+# to get it going again, which in turn un-stalls all
+# of the queued nanosleep calls.
+#
+# Note that due to what this does and how it operates,
+# using sleep in this script is a VERY BAD IDEA!
