x86: use the correct cpuid method to detect MWAIT support for C states
Previously there was a AMD specific quirk to handle the case of
AMD Fam10h MWAIT not supporting any C states. But it turns out
that CPUID already has ways to detectly detect that without
using special quirks.
The new code simply checks if MWAIT supports at least C1 and doesn't
use it if it doesn't. No more vendor specific code.
Note this is does not simply clear MWAIT because MWAIT can be still
useful even without C states.

x86 setup: initialize LDTR and TR to make life easier to Intel VT
Intel VT doesn't like to engage when the protected-mode state isn't
fully initialized. Make life easier for it by initializing LDTR (to
null) and TR (to a dummy hunk of low memory which will never actually
be touched.)

x86 setup: make PM transition more paranoid; cleanup 32-bit entry
Make the transition to protected mode more paranoid by having
back-to-back near jump (to synchronize the 386/486 prefetch queue) and
far jump (to set up the code segment.)
While we're at it, zero as many registers as practical (for future
expandability of the 32-bit entry interface) and enter 32-bit mode
with a valid stack. Note that the 32-bit code cannot rely on this
stack, or we'll break all other existing users of the 32-bit
entrypoint, but it may make debugging hacks easier to write.

x86: move get_segment_eip() to step.c
get_segment_eip has similarities to convert_rip_to_linear(),
and is used in a similar context. Move get_segment_eip to
step.c to allow easier consolidation.

x86: change x86 machine check handler to use unlocked_ioctl instead
The machine check handler registers ioctl handler that is called
with the BKL held. Changing to register unlocked_ioctl instead.
Also mce ioctl handler does not seem to need any lock protection.

x86/pgtable: explain constant sign extension problem
When the _PAGE_FOO constants are defined as (1ul << _PAGE_BIT_FOO), they
become unsigned longs. In 32-bit PAE mode, these end up being
implicitly cast to 64-bit types when used to manipulate a pte, and
because they're unsigned the top 32-bits are 0, destroying the upper
bits of the pte.
When _PAGE_FOO constants are given a signed integer type, the cast to
64-bits will sign-extend so that the upper bits are all ones,
preserving the upper pte bits in manipulations.
Explain this in a prominent place.

Put all the defines for mapping pagetable operations to their native
versions (for the non-paravirt case) into one place. Make the
corresponding changes to paravirt.h.
The tricky part here is that when a pagetable entry can't be updated
atomically (ie, 32-bit PAE), we need special handlers for pte_clear,
set_pte_atomic and set_pte_present. However, the other two modes
don't need special handling for these, and can use a common
set_pte(_at) path.

Make sure pte_t, whatever its definition, has a pte element with type
pteval_t. This allows common code to access it without needing to be
specifically parameterised on what pagetable mode we're compiling for.
For 32-bit, this means that pte_t becomes a union with "pte" and "{
pte_low, pte_high }" (PAE) or just "pte_low" (non-PAE).

Make users of supported_pte_mask common. This has the side-effect of
introducing the variable for 32-bit non-PAE, but I think its a pretty
small cost to simplify the code.
