[PATCH] x86_64: Handle years beyond 2100
ACPIv2 has an official but optional way to get a date >2100. Use it. But all the platforms I tested didn't seem to support it. But anyways the x86-64 kernel should be ready for the 22nd century now. Actually i shouldn't care about this because I will be dead by then @) Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
