make the TSC synchronization code more robust, and unify it between x86_64 and
i386.
The biggest change is the removal of the 'fix up TSCs' code on x86_64 and
i386, in some rare cases it was /causing/ time-warps on SMP systems.
The new code only checks for TSC asynchronity - and if it can prove a
time-warp (if it can observe the TSC going backwards when going from one CPU
to another within a critical section), then the TSC clock-source is turned
off.
The TSC synchronization-checking code also got moved into a separate file.

After updating several machines to 2.6.20, I can't boot anymore the single
one of them that supports the NX bit and is configured as a 32-bit system.
My understanding is that the VDSO changes in 2.6.20-rc7 were not fully
cooked, in that with that config option enabled VDSO_SYM(x) now equals
x, meaning that an address in the fixmap area is now being passed to
apps via AT_SYSINFO. However, the page is mapped with PAGE_READONLY
rather than PAGE_READONLY_EXEC.
I'm not certain whether having app code go through the fixmap area is
intended, but in case it is here is the simple patch that makes things work

The current code simply calls "start_kernel" directly if we're under a
hypervisor and no paravirt_ops backend wants us, because paravirt.c
registers that as a backend.
This was always a vain hope; start_kernel won't get far without setup.
It's also impossible for paravirt_ops backends which don't sit in the
arch/i386/kernel directory: they can't link before paravirt.o anyway.
Keep it simple: if we pass all the registered paravirt probes, BUG().

The old Cyrix 5520 CPU detection code relied upon the PCI layer setup being
done earlier than the CPU setup, which is no longer true. Fortunately we
know that if the processor is a MediaGX we can do type 1 pci config
accesses to check the companion chip. We thus do those directly and from
this find the 5520 and implement the workarounds for the timer problem

It's a hard hang that not even an NMI could punch through! Frustratingly,
adding printks or function tracing to the ACPI code made the hangs go away
...
After some time an additional detail emerged: disabling the NMI watchdog
made these occasional hangs go away.
So i spent the better part of today trying to debug this and trying out
various theories when i finally found the likely reason for the hang: if
acpi_ns_initialize_devices() executes an _INI AML method and an NMI
happens to hit that AML execution in the wrong moment, the machine would
hang. (my theory is that this must be some sort of chipset setup method
doing stores to chipset mmio registers?)
Unfortunately given the characteristics of the hang it was sheer
impossible to figure out which of the numerous AML methods is impacted
by this problem.
As a workaround i wrote an interface to disable chipset-based NMIs while
executing _INI sections - and indeed this fixed the hang. I did a
boot-loop of 100 separate reboots and none hung - while without the patch
it would hang every 5-10 attempts. Out of caution i did not touch the
nmi_watchdog=2 case (it's not related to the chipset anyway and didnt
hang).
I implemented this for both x86_64 and i686, tested the i686 laptop both
with nmi_watchdog=1 [which triggered the hangs] and nmi_watchdog=2, and
tested an Athlon64 box with the 64-bit kernel as well. Everything builds
and works with the patch applied.

Clean up sched_clock() on i686: it will use the TSC if available and falls
back to jiffies only if the user asked for it to be disabled via notsc or
the CPU calibration code didnt figure out the right cpu_khz.
This generally makes the scheduler timestamps more finegrained, on all
hardware. (the current scheduler is pretty resistant against asynchronous
sched_clock() values on different CPUs, it will allow at most up to a jiffy
of jitter.)
Also simplify sched_clock()'s check for TSC availability: propagate the
desire and ability to use the TSC into the tsc_disable flag, previously
this flag only indicated whether the notsc option was passed. This makes
the rare low-res sched_clock() codepath a single branch off a read-mostly
flag.

Add a notifier mechanism to the low level idle loop. You can register a
callback function which gets invoked on entry and exit from the low level idle
loop. The low level idle loop is defined as the polling loop, low-power call,
or the mwait instruction. Interrupts processed by the idle thread are not
considered part of the low level loop.
The notifier can be used to measure precisely how much is spent in useless
execution (or low power mode). The perfmon subsystem uses it to turn on/off
monitoring.

Profile_pc was broken when using paravirtualization because the
assumption the kernel was running at CPL 0 was violated, causing
bad logic to read a random value off the stack.
The only way to be in kernel lock functions is to be in kernel
code, so validate that assumption explicitly by checking the CS
value. We don't want to be fooled by BIOS / APM segments and
try to read those stacks, so only match KERNEL_CS.

VMI timer code. It works by taking over the local APIC clock when APIC is
configured, which requires a couple hooks into the APIC code. The backend
timer code could be commonized into the timer infrastructure, but there are
some pieces missing (stolen time, in particular), and the exact semantics of
when to do accounting for NO_IDLE need to be shared between different
hypervisors as well. So for now, VMI timer is a separate module.
