paravirt overrides the setup of the default apic timers as per cpu
timers. Moorestown needs to override that as well.
Move it to x86_init_ops setup and create a separate x86_cpuinit struct
which holds the function for the secondary evtl. hotplugabble CPUs.

With CONFIG_STACK_PROTECTOR turned on, VMI doesn't boot with
more than one processor. The problem is with the gs value not
being initialized correctly when registering the secondary
processor for VMI's case.
The patch below initializes the gs value for the AP to
__KERNEL_STACK_CANARY. Without this the secondary processor
keeps on taking a GP on every gs access.

Impact: fix lazy context switch API
Pass the previous and next tasks into the context switch start
end calls, so that the called functions can properly access the
task state (esp in end_context_switch, in which the next task
is not yet completely current).

Impact: allow preemption during lazy mmu updates
If we're in lazy mmu mode when context switching, leave
lazy mmu mode, but remember the task's state in
TIF_LAZY_MMU_UPDATES. When we resume the task, check this
flag and re-enter lazy mmu mode if its set.
This sets things up for allowing lazy mmu mode while preemptible,
though that won't actually be active until the next change.

Commit 6194ba6ff6 ("x86: don't special-case
pmd allocations as much") made changes to the way we handle pmd allocations,
and while doing that it dropped a call to paravirt_release_pd on the
pgd page from the pgd_dtor code path.
As a result of this missing release, the hypervisor is now unaware of the
pgd page being freed, and as a result it ends up tracking this page as a
page table page.
After this the guest may start using the same page for other purposes, and
depending on what use the page is put to, it may result in various performance
and/or functional issues ( hangs, reboots).
Since this release is only required for VMI, I now release the pgd page from
the (vmi)_pgd_free hook.

This is precisely compatible with the calling convention, so we can
just call them directly without wrapping.

Impact: cleanup, remove dead debug code
I ran across some old debugging code in vmi paravirt-ops code that was
already dead, but still potentially useful. After reviewing recent
changes to the way kernel page tables are allocated and initialized, and
the lack of bugs caught by this debugging code, I've concluded it is now
totally useless to have around, and it's already been #if 0'd for quite
some time.
There's no rush to get this in mainline, but it's also totally harmless,
so I'll let the x86 maintainers decide where it should be tucked. I've
been out of the mainstream dev loop for a couple months, so apologies if
I haven't got any protocol changes in order.

VMI initialiation can relocate the fixmap, causing early_ioremap to
malfunction if it is initialized before the relocation. To fix this,
VMI activation is split into two phases; the detection, which must
happen before setting up ioremap, and the activation, which must happen
after parsing early boot parameters.
This fixes a crash on boot when VMI is enabled under VMware.

After investigating a JRE failure, I found this bug was introduced a
long time ago, and had already managed to survive another bugfix which
occurred on the same line. The result is a total failure of the JRE due
to LDT selectors not working properly.
This one took a long time to rear up because LDT usage is not very
common, but the bug is quite serious. It got introduced along with
another bug, already fixed, by 75b8bb3e56

This patch changes the pfn args from 'u32' to 'unsigned long'
on alloc_p*() functions on paravirt_ops, and the corresponding
implementations for Xen and VMI. The prototypes for CONFIG_PARAVIRT=n
are already using unsigned long, so paravirt.h now matches the prototypes
on asm-x86/pgalloc.h.
It shouldn't result in any changes on generated code on 32-bit, with
or without CONFIG_PARAVIRT. On both cases, 'codiff -f' didn't show any
change after applying this patch.
On 64-bit, there are (expected) binary changes only when CONFIG_PARAVIRT
is enabled, as the patch is really supposed to change the size of the
pfn args.

The lowmem mapping table created by VMI need not depend on max_low_pfn
at all. Instead we now create an extra large mapping which covers all
possible lowmem instead of the physical ram that is actually available.
This allows the vmi initialization to be done before max_low_pfn could
be computed. We also move the vmi_init code very early in the boot process
so that nobody accidentally breaks the fixmap dependancy.

Use alternatives to select the workaround for the 11AP Pentium erratum
for the affected steppings on the fly rather than build time. Remove the
X86_GOOD_APIC configuration option and replace all the calls to
apic_write_around() with plain apic_write(), protecting accesses to the
ESR as appropriate due to the 3AP Pentium erratum. Remove
apic_read_around() and all its invocations altogether as not needed.
Remove apic_write_atomic() and all its implementing backends. The use of
ASM_OUTPUT2() is not strictly needed for input constraints, but I have
used it for readability's sake.
I had the feeling no one else was brave enough to do it, so I went ahead
and here it is. Verified by checking the generated assembly and tested
with both a 32-bit and a 64-bit configuration, also with the 11AP
"feature" forced on and verified with gdb on /proc/kcore to work as
expected (as an 11AP machines are quite hard to get hands on these days).
Some script complained about the use of "volatile", but apic_write() needs
it for the same reason and is effectively a replacement for writel(), so I
have disregarded it.
I am not sure what the policy wrt defconfig files is, they are generated
and there is risk of a conflict resulting from an unrelated change, so I
have left changes to them out. The option will get removed from them at
the next run.
Some testing with machines other than mine will be needed to avoid some
stupid mistake, but despite its volume, the change is not really that
intrusive, so I am fairly confident that because it works for me, it will
everywhere.
