We already have cpufeature indicies above 255, so use a 16-bit number
for the alternatives index. This consumes a padding field and so
doesn't add any size, but it means that abusing the padding field to
create assembly errors on overflow no longer works. We can retain the
test simply by redirecting it to the .discard section, however.

Noticed the zero-sized function symbol while looking at 'perf' profiles,
it causes the profiler to display those addresses in hexa.
Turns out that this was wrong/bogus for an eternity.

Add unwind annotations to arch/x86_64/lib/*.S, and also use the macros
provided by linux/linkage.h where-ever possible.
Some of the alternative instructions handling needed to be adjusted so
that the replacement code would also have valid unwind information.

They cause quite bad performance regressions on Netburst
This is temporary until we can get new optimized functions
for these CPUs.
This undoes changes that were done in 2.6.15 and in 2.6.16-rc1,
essentially bringing the code back to 2.6.14 level. Only change
is I renamed the X86_FEATURE_K8_C flag to X86_FEATURE_REP_GOOD
and fixed the check for the flag and also fixed some comments.

B stepping were the first shipping Opterons. memcpy/memset/copy_page/
clear_page had special optimized version for them. These are really
old and in the minority now and the difference to the generic versions
(using rep microcode) is not that big anyways. So just remove them.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
