SELinux has wrongly (since 2004) had an incorrect test for an empty
tty->tty_files list. With an empty list selinux would be pointing to part
of the tty struct itself and would then proceed to dereference that value
and again dereference that result. An F10 change to plymouth on a ppc64
system is actually currently triggering this bug. This patch uses
list_empty() to handle empty lists rather than looking at a meaningless
location.

This is because we use current_cr3 for the read_cr3() paravirt

| x86: convert cpuinfo_x86 array to a per_cpu array
We've had an extra field in cpuinfo_x86 which is cpu_index.
Unfortunately, voyager has never initialised this, although the only
noticeable impact seems to be that /proc/cpuinfo shows all zeros for
the processor ids.
Anyway, fix this by initialising the boot CPU properly and setting the
index when the secondaries update.

| x86, xsave: enable xsave/xrstor on cpus with xsave support
Which deliberately expose boot cpu dependence to pieces of the system,
I think it's time to explicitly have a variable for it to prevent this
continual misassumption that the boot CPU is zero.

Impact: build fix on non-lockdep architectures
Some architectures do not support a way to read the irq flags that
is set from "local_irq_save(flags)" to determine if interrupts were
disabled or enabled. Ftrace uses this information to display to the user
if the trace occurred with interrupts enabled or disabled.
Besides the fact that those archs that do not support this will fail to
compile, unless they fix it, we do not want to have the trace simply
say interrupts were not disabled or they were enabled, without knowing
the real answer.
This patch adds a 'X' in the output to let the user know that the
architecture they are running on does not support a way for the tracer
to determine if interrupts were enabled or disabled. It also lets those
same archs compile with tracing enabled.

Impact: allow /dev/mem mmaps on non-PAT CPUs/platforms
Fix mmap to /dev/mem when CONFIG_X86_PAT is off and CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM is
off
mmap to /dev/mem on kernel memory has been failing since the
introduction of PAT (CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM=n case). Seems like
the check to avoid cache aliasing with PAT is kicking in even
when PAT is disabled. The bug seems to have crept in 2.6.26.
This patch makes sure that the mmap to regular
kernel memory succeeds if CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM=n and
PAT is disabled, and the checks to avoid cache aliasing
still happens if PAT is enabled.

| x86: move prefill_possible_map calling early
prefill_possible_mask() was hidden under CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU rendering
it invisitble to voyager. Since this commit it's exposed, but not
provided by the voyager subarch, so add a dummy stub to fix the link
breakage.
