Replace the hardcoded list of initialization functions for each CPU
vendor by a list in an ELF section, which is read at initialization in
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpu.c to fill the cpu_devs[] array. The ELF
section, named .x86cpuvendor.init, is reclaimed after boot, and
contains entries of type "struct cpu_vendor_dev" which associates a
vendor number with a pointer to a "struct cpu_dev" structure.
This first modification allows to remove all the VENDOR_init_cpu()
functions.
This patch also removes the hardcoded calls to early_init_amd() and
early_init_intel(). Instead, we add a "c_early_init" member to the
cpu_dev structure, which is then called if not NULL by the generic CPU
initialization code. Unfortunately, in early_cpu_detect(), this_cpu is
not yet set, so we have to use the cpu_devs[] array directly.
This patch is part of the Linux Tiny project, and is needed for
further patch that will allow to disable compilation of unused CPU
support code.

We have been promoting Transmeta TM3x00/TM5x00 chips to i686-class
based on the notion that they contain all the user-space visible
features of an i686-class chip. However, this is not actually true:
they lack the EA-taking long NOPs (0F 1F /0). Since this is a
userspace-visible incompatibility, downgrade these CPUs to the
manufacturer-defined i586 level.

The definition of USER686 is supposed to be a mask of feature bits,
not an OR of feature numbers! It happened to work anyway on the only
processor affected, simply by pure coincidence. Fix.

In arch/i386/cpu/common.c there is:
cpu_devs[X86_VENDOR_INTEL]
cpu_devs[X86_VENDOR_CYRIX]
cpu_devs[X86_VENDOR_AMD]
...
They are all filled with data early.
The data (struct) got set to NULL for all, but Intel in different
late_initcall (exit_cpu_vendor) calls.
I don't see what sense this makes at all, maybe something that got
forgotten with the HOTPLUG_CPU extenstions?
Please check/review whether initdata, cpuinitdata is still ok and this
still works with HOTPLUG_CPU and without, it should...

The different cpu_dev structures are all used from __cpuinit callers what
I can tell. So mark them as __cpuinitdata instead of __initdata. I am a
little bit unsure about arch/i386/common.c:default_cpu, especially when it
comes to the purpose of this_cpu.

cpu_dev->c_identify is only called from arch/i386/common.c:identify_cpu(), and
this after generic_identify() already has been called. There is no need to call
this function twice and hook it in c_identify - but I may be wrong, please
double check before applying.
This patch also removes generic_identify() from cpu.h to avoid unnecessary
future nesting.

i386 CPU init code accesses freed init memory when booting a newly-started
processor after CPU hotplug. The cpu_devs array is searched to find the
vendor and it contains pointers to freed data.
Fix that by:
1. Zeroing entries for freed vendor data after bootup.
2. Changing Transmeta, NSC and UMC to all __init[data].
3. Printing a warning (once only) and setting this_cpu
to a safe default when the vendor is not found.
This does not change behavior for AMD systems. They were broken already
but no error was reported.

We know that the randomisation slows down some workloads on Transmeta CPUs
by quite large amounts. We think it's because the CPU needs to recode the
same x86 instructions when they pop up at a different virtual address after
a fork+exec.
So disable randomization by default on those CPUs.

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!
