Address a long standing issue of booting with an initrd on an i386 numa
system. Currently (and always) the numa kva area is mapped into low memory
by finding the end of low memory and moving that mark down (thus creating
space for the kva). The issue with this is that Grub loads initrds into
this similar space so when the kernel check the initrd it finds it outside
max_low_pfn and disables it (it thinks the initrd is not mapped into usable
memory) thus initrd enabled kernels can't boot i386 numa :(
My solution to the problem just converts the numa kva area to use the
bootmem allocator to save it's area (instead of moving the end of low
memory). Using bootmem allows the kva area to be mapped into more diverse
addresses (not just the end of low memory) and enables the kva area to be
mapped below the initrd if present.
I have tested this patch on numaq(no initrd) and summit(initrd) i386 numa
based systems.

Refactor the event processing (syslog messaging and rate limiting)
into separate file therm_throt.c. This allows consistent reporting
of CPU thermal throttle events.
After ACK'ing the interrupt, if the event is current, the user
(p4.c/mce_intel.c) calls therm_throt_process to log (and rate limit)
the event. If that function returns 1, the user has the option to log
things further (such as to mce_log in x86_64).

Current gcc generates calls not jumps to noreturn functions. When that happens the
return address can point to the next function, which confuses the unwinder.
This patch works around it by marking asynchronous exception
frames in contrast normal call frames in the unwind information. Then teach
the unwinder to decode this.
For normal call frames the unwinder now subtracts one from the address which avoids
this problem. The standard libgcc unwinder uses the same trick.
It doesn't include adjustment of the printed address (i.e. for the original
example, it'd still be kernel_math_error+0 that gets displayed, but the
unwinder wouldn't get confused anymore.
This only works with binutils 2.6.17+ and some versions of H.J.Lu's 2.6.16

We allow for the fact that the guest kernel may not run in ring 0. This
requires some abstraction in a few places when setting %cs or checking
privilege level (user vs kernel).
This is Chris' [RFC PATCH 15/33] move segment checks to subarch, except rather
than using #define USER_MODE_MASK which depends on a config option, we use
Zach's more flexible approach of assuming ring 3 == userspace. I also used
"get_kernel_rpl()" over "get_kernel_cs()" because I think it reads better in
the code...
1) Remove the hardcoded 3 and introduce #define SEGMENT_RPL_MASK 3 2) Add a
get_kernel_rpl() macro, and don't assume it's zero.
And:
Clean up of patch for letting kernel run other than ring 0:
a. Add some comments about the SEGMENT_IS_*_CODE() macros.
b. Add a USER_RPL macro. (Code was comparing a value to a mask
in some places and to the magic number 3 in other places.)

This patch replaces the open-coded early commandline parsing
throughout the i386 boot code with the generic mechanism (already used
by ppc, powerpc, ia64 and s390). The code was inconsistent with
whether it deletes the option from the cmdline or not, meaning some of
these will get passed through the environment into init.
This transformation is mainly mechanical, but there are some notable
parts:
1) Grammar: s/linux never set's it up/linux never sets it up/
2) Remove hacked-in earlyprintk= option scanning. When someone
actually implements CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK, then they can use
early_param().
[AK: actually it is implemented, but I'm adding the early_param it in the next
x86-64 patch]
3) Move declaration of generic_apic_probe() from setup.c into asm/apic.h
4) Various parameters now moved into their appropriate files (thanks Andi).
5) All parse functions which examine arg need to check for NULL,
except one where it has subtle humor value.

For NUMA optimization and some other algorithms it is useful to have a fast
to get the current CPU and node numbers in user space.
x86-64 added a fast way to do this in a vsyscall. This adds a generic
syscall for other architectures to make it a generic portable facility.
I expect some of them will also implement it as a faster vsyscall.
The cache is an optimization for the x86-64 vsyscall optimization. Since
what the syscall returns is an approximation anyways and user space
often wants very fast results it can be cached for some time. The norma
methods to get this information in user space are relatively slow
The vsyscall is in a better position to manage the cache because it has direct
access to a fast time stamp (jiffies). For the generic syscall optimization
it doesn't help much, but enforce a valid argument to keep programs
portable
I only added an i386 syscall entry for now. Other architectures can follow
as needed.

Adds basic infrastructure to allow subsystems to reserve performance
counters on the x86 chips. Only UP kernels are supported in this patch to
make reviewing easier. The SMP portion makes a lot more changes.
Think of this as a locking mechanism where each bit represents a different
counter. In addition, each subsystem should also reserve an appropriate
event selection register that will correspond to the performance counter it
will be using (this is mainly neccessary for the Pentium 4 chips as they
break the 1:1 relationship to performance counters).
This will help prevent subsystems like oprofile from interfering with the
