b43: Rewrite LO calibration algorithm
This patch distributes the Local Oscillator calibration bursts over time,
so that calibration only happens when it's actually needed.
Currently we periodically perform a recalibration of the whole table.
The table is huge and this takes lots of time. Additionally only small bits
of the table are actually needed at a given time. So instead of maintaining
a huge table with all possible calibration values, we create dynamic calibration
settings that
a) We only calibrate when they are actually needed.
b) Are cached for some time until they expire.
So a recalibration might happen if we need a calibration setting that's not
cached, or if the active calibration setting expires.
Currently the expire timeout is set to 30 seconds. We may raise that in future.
This patch reduces overall memory consumption by nuking the
huge static calibration tables.
This patch has been tested on several 4306, 4311 and 4318 flavours.

Make forced module loading optional
The kernel module loader used to be much too happy to allow loading of
modules for the wrong kernel version by default. For example, if you
had MODVERSIONS enabled, but tried to load a module with no version
info, it would happily load it and taint the kernel - whether it was
likely to actually work or not!
Generally, such forced module loading should be considered a really
really bad idea, so make it conditional on a new config option
(MODULE_FORCE_LOAD), and make it default to off.
If somebody really wants to force module loads, that's their problem,
but we should not encourage it. Especially as it happened to me by
mistake (ie regular unversioned Fedora modules getting loaded) causing
lots of strange behavior.

x86: remove dell reboot dmi quirk board name match
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10547
Newer Dell OptiPlex 745s hang before rebooting after 'sudo reboot'.
A patch for some versions of the OptiPlex was proposed here --
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/6/5/59 -- and is included in 2.6.23 and
later kernels, according to
http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v2.6.23/arch/i386/kernel/reboot.c . However,
the DMI_BOARD_NAME ("0WF810") is too restrictive. Newer OptiPlex
machines have a DMI_BOARD_NAME of "0RF703". I therefore suggest
adding another clause to reboot.c, similar to the one in the original
patch, but matching a DMI_BOARD_NAME of "0RF703".
On further inspection, it seems that there are other DMI_BOARD_NAMEs
for this same machine. They seem to change from time to time, which
means that the current code is fragile. Moreover, using bios reboot
should not break non-SFF OptiPlex 745s, and so a reasonable fix is to
simply drop the match on DMI_BOARD_NAME.

kbuild, suspend, x86: fix rebuild of wakeup.bin
In kernel/acpi/realmode/Makefile use the 'always'
variable to say that wakeup.bin should always
be made.
In acpi/Makefile we then do not need to specify the
requested target and we avoid the message from make:
`arch/x86/kernel/acpi/realmode/wakeup.bin' is up to date.
Add wakeup.lds to list af targets to avoid rebuilding
wakeup.bin - from Roland McGrath.

x86: undo visws/numaq build changes
arch/x86/pci/Makefile_32 has a nasty detail. VISWS and NUMAQ build
override the generic pci-y rules. This needs a proper cleanup, but
that needs more thoughts. Undo
This make sure not to schedule in atomic during fx_init. I also
changed the name of fpu_init to fx_finit to avoid duplicating the name
with fpu_init that is already used in the kernel, this makes grep
simpler if nothing else.

The in-kernel PIT emulation ignores pending timers if operating under
mode 4, which for example DragonFlyBSD uses (and Plan9 too, apparently).
Mode 4 seems to be similar to one-shot mode, other than the fact that it
starts counting after the next CLK pulse once programmed, while mode 1
starts counting immediately, so add a FIXME to enhance precision.

KVM: x86 emulator: disable writeback on lmsw
The recent changes allowing memory operands with lmsw and smsw left
lmsw with writeback enabled. Since lmsw has no oridinary destination
operand, the dst pointer was not initialized, resulting in an oops.
KVM: ppc: deliver INTERRUPT_FP_UNAVAIL to the guest
This patch adds the delivery of INTERRUPT_FP_UNAVAIL exceptions to the guest.
It's needed if a guest uses ppc binaries using the Floating point instructions.
