Move the irqbalance quirks for E7320/E7520/E7525(Errata 23 in
http://download.intel.com/design/chipsets/specupdt/30304203.pdf) to early
quirks.
And add a PCI quirk for these platforms to check(which happens very late
during the boot) if the APIC routing is indeed set to default flat mode.
This fixes the breakage(in x86_64) of this quirk due to cpu hotplug which
selects physical mode instead of the logical flat(as needed for this errata
workaround).

The function ptep_get_and_clear uses an atomic instruction sequence to get and
clear an active pte. Rather than add such an atomic operator to all virtual
machine implementations in paravirt-ops, it is easier to support the raw
atomic sequence and use either a trapping writable pagetable approach, or a
post-update notification. For the post update notification, we require the
pte_update function to be called after the access. Combine the 2-level and
3-level paging operators into one common function which does the post-update
notification, and rename the actual atomic sequences to raw_ptep_xxx
operators.

Add the three bare TLB accessor functions to paravirt-ops. Most amusingly,
flush_tlb is redefined on SMP, so I can't call the paravirt op flush_tlb.
Instead, I chose to indicate the actual flush type, kernel (global) vs. user
(non-global). Global in this sense means using the global bit in the page
table entry, which makes TLB entries persistent across CR3 reloads, not
global as in the SMP sense of invoking remote shootdowns, so the term is
confusingly overloaded.

It turns out that the most called ops, by several orders of magnitude,
are the interrupt manipulation ops. These are obvious candidates for
patching, so mark them up and create infrastructure for it.
The method used is that the ops structure has a patch function, which
is called for each place which needs to be patched: this returns a
number of instructions (the rest are NOP-padded).
Usually we can spare a register (%eax) for the binary patched code to
use, but in a couple of critical places in entry.S we can't: we make
the clobbers explicit at the call site, and manually clobber the
allowed registers in debug mode as an extra check.

o Now CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START is being replaced with CONFIG_PHYSICAL_ALIGN.
Hardcoding the kernel physical start value creates a problem in relocatable
kernel context due to boot loader limitations. For ex, if somebody
compiles a relocatable kernel to be run from address 4MB, but this kernel
will run from location 1MB as grub loads the kernel at physical address
1MB. Kernel thinks that I am a relocatable kernel and I should run from
the address I have been loaded at. So somebody wanting to run kernel
from 4MB alignment location (for improved performance regions) can't do
that.
o Hence, Eric proposed that probably CONFIG_PHYSICAL_ALIGN will make
more sense in relocatable kernel context. At run time kernel will move
itself to a physical addr location which meets user specified alignment
restrictions.

Having a defintition of __pa_symbol that works on both x86_64 and

sys_vm86 uses a struct kernel_vm86_regs, which is identical to pt_regs, but
adds an extra space for all the segment registers. Previously this structure
was completely independent, so changes in pt_regs had to be reflected in
kernel_vm86_regs. This changes just embeds pt_regs in kernel_vm86_regs, and
makes the appropriate changes to vm86.c to deal with the new naming.
Also, since %gs is dealt with differently in the kernel, this change adjusts
vm86.c to reflect this.
While making these changes, I also cleaned up some frankly bizarre code which
was added when auditing was added to sys_vm86.

This patch is the meat of the PDA change. This patch makes several related
changes:
1: Most significantly, %gs is now used in the kernel. This means that on
entry, the old value of %gs is saved away, and it is reloaded with
__KERNEL_PDA.
2: entry.S constructs the stack in the shape of struct pt_regs, and this
is passed around the kernel so that the process's saved register
state can be accessed.
Unfortunately struct pt_regs doesn't currently have space for %gs
(or %fs). This patch extends pt_regs to add space for gs (no space
is allocated for %fs, since it won't be used, and it would just
complicate the code in entry.S to work around the space).
3: Because %gs is now saved on the stack like %ds, %es and the integer
registers, there are a number of places where it no longer needs to
be handled specially; namely context switch, and saving/restoring the
register state in a signal context.
4: And since kernel threads run in kernel space and call normal kernel
code, they need to be created with their %gs == __KERNEL_PDA.

When a CPU is brought up, a PDA and GDT are allocated for it. The GDT's
__KERNEL_PDA entry is pointed to the allocated PDA memory, so that all
references using this segment descriptor will refer to the PDA.
This patch rearranges CPU initialization a bit, so that the GDT/PDA are set up
as early as possible in cpu_init(). Also for secondary CPUs, GDT+PDA are
preallocated and initialized so all the secondary CPU needs to do is set up
the ldt and load %gs. This will be important once smp_processor_id() and
current use the PDA.
In all cases, the PDA is set up in head.S, before a CPU starts running C code,
so the PDA is always available.

i386 port of the sLeAZY-fpu feature. Chuck reports that this gives him a +/-
0.4% improvement on his simple benchmark
x86_64 description follows:
Right now the kernel on x86-64 has a 100% lazy fpu behavior: after *every*
context switch a trap is taken for the first FPU use to restore the FPU
context lazily. This is of course great for applications that have very
sporadic or no FPU use (since then you avoid doing the expensive save/restore
all the time). However for very frequent FPU users... you take an extra trap
every context switch.
The patch below adds a simple heuristic to this code: After 5 consecutive
context switches of FPU use, the lazy behavior is disabled and the context
gets restored every context switch. If the app indeed uses the FPU, the trap
is avoided. (the chance of the 6th time slice using FPU after the previous 5
having done so are quite high obviously).
After 256 switches, this is reset and lazy behavior is returned (until there
are 5 consecutive ones again). The reason for this is to give apps that do
longer bursts of FPU use still the lazy behavior back after some time.
