This avoids use of the kernel-internal "xtime" variable directly outside
of the actual time-related functions. Instead, use the helper functions
that we already have available to us.
This doesn't actually change any behaviour, but this will allow us to
fix the fact that "xtime" isn't updated very often with CONFIG_NO_HZ
(because much of the realtime information is maintained as separate
offsets to 'xtime'), which has caused interfaces that use xtime directly
to get a time that is out of sync with the real-time clock by up to a
third of a second or so.

0x0f 0x01 instructions (ie lgdt, lidt, smsw, lmsw and invlpg) does
not use writeback. This patch set no_wb=1 when emulating those
instructions.
This fixes a regression booting the FreeBSD kernel on AMD.

Testing the wrong bit caused kvm not to disable nx on the guest when it is
disabled on the host (an mmu optimization relies on the nx bits being the
same in the guest and host).
This allows Windows to boot when nx is disabled on te host (e.g. when
host pae is disabled).

This reverts commit a3c870bdce. While it
does save useless updates, it (probably) defeats the fork detector, causing
a massive performance loss.

We add the kvm to the vm_list before initializing the vcpu mutexes,
which can be mutex_trylock()'ed by decache_vcpus_on_cpu().

Writes that are contiguous in virtual memory may not be contiguous in
physical memory; so split writes that straddle a page boundary.
Thanks to Aurelien for reporting the bug, patient testing, and a fix
to this very patch.

As it was a synonym for (CONFIG_ACPI && CONFIG_X86),
the ifdefs for it were more clutter than they were worth.
For ia64, just add a few stubs in anticipation of future
S3 or S4 support.

ACPI Exception (processor_throttling-0084): AE_NOT_FOUND, Evaluating _PTC [20070126]
ACPI Exception (processor_throttling-0147): AE_NOT_FOUND, Evaluating _TSS [20070126]
These methods are optional, so Linux should not
alarm users when they are not found.
