Patch to fix race between the NMI code and the CMOS clock

2005-01-21 Thread Corey Minyard
This patch fixes a race between the CMOS clock setting and the NMI code. The NMI code indiscriminatly sets index registers and values in the same place the CMOS clock is set. If you are setting the CMOS clock and an NMI occurs, Bad values could be written to or read from the CMOS RAM, or the NMI
