There haave been several areas in the kernel where an int has been used for
flags in local_irq_save() and friends instead of a long. This can cause some
hard to debug problems on some architectures.
This patch adds a typecheck inside the irqsave and restore functions to flag
these cases.

Add preempt off timings. A lot of kernel core code is taken from the RT patch
latency trace that was written by Ingo Molnar.
This adds "preemptoff" and "preemptirqsoff" to /debugfs/tracing/available_tracers
Now instead of just tracing irqs off, preemption off can be selected
to be recorded.
When this is selected, it shares the same files as irqs off timings.
One can either trace preemption off, irqs off, or one or the other off.
By echoing "preemptoff" into /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer, recording
of preempt off only is performed. "irqsoff" will only record the time
irqs are disabled, but "preemptirqsoff" will take the total time irqs
or preemption are disabled. Runtime switching of these options is now
supported by simpling echoing in the appropriate trace name into
/debugfs/tracing/current_tracer.

irqs_disabled() uses flags internally, use _flags to avoid shadowing
code calling into this macro.
Introduced between 2.6.25-rc3 and -rc4
Fixes the sparse warning:
arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c:383:21: warning: symbol 'flags' shadows an earlier one
arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c:369:16: originally declared here

This reverts commit ee3ce191e8, since it
broke on at least ARM, MIPS and PA-RISC due to complicated header file
dependencies.
Conflicts in include/linux/spinlock.h (due to the "nested" variety
fixes) fixed up by hand.

Make it break or warn if you pass to spin_lock_irqsave() and friends
something different from "unsigned long flags;". Suprisingly large amount
of these was caught by recent commit
c53421b18f and others.
Idea is largely from FRV typechecking. Suggestions from Andrew Morton.
All stupid typos in first version fixed.
Passes allmodconfig on i386, x86_64, alpha, arm as well as my usual config.
Note #1: checking with sparse is still needed, because a driver can save
and pass around flags or something. So far patch is very intrusive.
Note #2: techically, we should break only if
sizeof(flags) < sizeof(unsigned long),
however, the more pain for getting suspicious code into kernel,
the better.

Accurate hard-IRQ-flags and softirq-flags state tracing.
This allows us to attach extra functionality to IRQ flags on/off
events (such as trace-on/off).
