[PATCH] x86: fix laptop bootup hang in init_acpi()

During kernel bootup, a new T60 laptop (CoreDuo, 32-bit) hangs about
10%-20% of the time in acpi_init():

 Calling initcall 0xc055ce1a: topology_init+0x0/0x2f()
 Calling initcall 0xc055d75e: mtrr_init_finialize+0x0/0x2c()

 Calling initcall 0xc056c4bd: fbmem_init+0x0/0x87()
 Calling initcall 0xc056dd74: acpi_init+0x0/0x1ee()

It's a hard hang that not even an NMI could punch through!  Frustratingly,
adding printks or function tracing to the ACPI code made the hangs go away
...

After some time an additional detail emerged: disabling the NMI watchdog
made these occasional hangs go away.

So i spent the better part of today trying to debug this and trying out
various theories when i finally found the likely reason for the hang: if
acpi_ns_initialize_devices() executes an _INI AML method and an NMI
happens to hit that AML execution in the wrong moment, the machine would
hang.  (my theory is that this must be some sort of chipset setup method
doing stores to chipset mmio registers?)

Unfortunately given the characteristics of the hang it was sheer
impossible to figure out which of the numerous AML methods is impacted
by this problem.

As a workaround i wrote an interface to disable chipset-based NMIs while
executing _INI sections - and indeed this fixed the hang.  I did a
boot-loop of 100 separate reboots and none hung - while without the patch
it would hang every 5-10 attempts.  Out of caution i did not touch the
nmi_watchdog=2 case (it's not related to the chipset anyway and didnt
hang).

I implemented this for both x86_64 and i686, tested the i686 laptop both
with nmi_watchdog=1 [which triggered the hangs] and nmi_watchdog=2, and
tested an Athlon64 box with the 64-bit kernel as well. Everything builds
and works with the patch applied.

[PATCH] i386: paravirt CPU hypercall batching mode

The VMI ROM has a mode where hypercalls can be queued and batched.  This turns
out to be a significant win during context switch, but must be done at a
specific point before side effects to CPU state are visible to subsequent
instructions.  This is similar to the MMU batching hooks already provided.
The same hooks could be used by the Xen backend to implement a context switch
multicall.

To explain a bit more about lazy modes in the paravirt patches, basically, the
idea is that only one of lazy CPU or MMU mode can be active at any given time.
 Lazy MMU mode is similar to this lazy CPU mode, and allows for batching of
multiple PTE updates (say, inside a remap loop), but to avoid keeping some
kind of state machine about when to flush cpu or mmu updates, we just allow
one or the other to be active.  Although there is no real reason a more
comprehensive scheme could not be implemented, there is also no demonstrated
need for this extra complexity.

[PATCH] MM: page allocation hooks for VMI backend

The VMI backend uses explicit page type notification to track shadow page
tables.  The allocation of page table roots is especially tricky.  We need to
clone the root for non-PAE mode while it is protected under the pgd lock to
correctly copy the shadow.

We don't need to allocate pgds in PAE mode, (PDPs in Intel terminology) as
they only have 4 entries, and are cached entirely by the processor, which
makes shadowing them rather simple.

For base page table level allocation, pmd_populate provides the exact hook
point we need.  Also, we need to allocate pages when splitting a large page,
and we must release pages before returning the page to any free pool.

Despite being required with these slightly odd semantics for VMI, Xen also
uses these hooks to determine the exact moment when page tables are created or
released.

[PATCH] mmconfig: Fix x86_64 ioremap base_address

Current mmconfig has some problems of remapped range.

a) In the case of broken MCFG tables on Asus etc., we need to remap 256M
   range, but currently only remap 1M.

b) The base address always corresponds to bus number 0, but currently we
   are assuming it corresponds to start bus number.

This patch fixes the above problems.

(akpm: Arjan suggests that if the MCFG table is broken we just shouldn't use
it, rather than try to work around things).

[PATCH] i386: Convert i386 PDA code to use %fs

Convert the PDA code to use %fs rather than %gs as the segment for
per-processor data.  This is because some processors show a small but
measurable performance gain for reloading a NULL segment selector (as %fs
generally is in user-space) versus a non-NULL one (as %gs generally is).

On modern processors the difference is very small, perhaps undetectable.
Some old AMD "K6 3D+" processors are noticably slower when %fs is used
rather than %gs; I have no idea why this might be, but I think they're
sufficiently rare that it doesn't matter much.

This patch also fixes the math emulator, which had not been adjusted to
match the changed struct pt_regs.

RCU API and add missing rcu_read_lock/rcu_read_unlock calls in
