Use a real VMA to map the 32bit vsyscall page
This interacts better with Hugh's upcomming VMA walk optimization
Also removes some ugly special cases.
Code roughly modelled after the ppc64 vdso version from Ben Herrenschmidt.

x86_64 genapic mechanism should be aware of machines that use physical APIC
mode regardless of how many clusters/processors are detected.
ACPI 3.0 FADT makes this determination very simple by providing a feature
flag "force_apic_physical_destination_mode" to state whether the machine
unconditionally uses physical APIC mode.
Unisys' next generation x86_64 ES7000 will need to utilize this FADT
feature flag in order to boot the x86_64 kernel in the correct APIC mode.
This patch has been tested on both x86_64 commodity and ES7000 boxes.

Port over a i386 kludge from rusty to x86-64
I don't think it is a full solution, but the upcomming smp bootup rewrite
will solve it.
This fixes BUGs at bootup on bigger x86-64 systems.

Only display physical id/siblings when there are siblings or dual core.
In 2.6.11 I accidentially broke it and it was always displaying these
fields But for compatibility to all these /proc parsers around it is better
to do it in the old way again.

This moves the macro loaddebug from asm-i386/suspend.h to
asm-i386/processor.h, which is the place that makes sense for it to be
defined, removes the extra copy of the same macro in
arch/i386/kernel/process.c, and makes arch/i386/kernel/signal.c use the
macro in place of its expansion.
This is a purely cosmetic cleanup for the normal i386 kernel. However, it
is handy for Xen to be able to just redefine the loaddebug macro once
instead of also changing the signal.c code.

For prefetches of NULL (as when walking a short linked list), PPC64 will in
some cases take a performance hit. The hardware needs to do the TLB walk,
and said walk will always miss, which means (up to) two L2 misses as
penalty. This seems to hurt overall performance, so for NULL pointers skip
the prefetch alltogether.

During some code inspection using gcc 4.0 I noticed a stack frame was being
created for a number of functions that didnt require it. For example:
c0000000000df944 <._spin_unlock>:
c0000000000df944: fb e1 ff f0 std r31,-16(r1)
c0000000000df948: f8 21 ff c1 stdu r1,-64(r1)
c0000000000df94c: 7c 3f 0b 78 mr r31,r1
c0000000000df950: 7c 20 04 ac lwsync
c0000000000df954: e8 21 00 00 ld r1,0(r1)
c0000000000df958: 38 00 00 00 li r0,0
c0000000000df95c: 90 03 00 00 stw r0,0(r3)
c0000000000df960: eb e1 ff f0 ld r31,-16(r1)
c0000000000df964: 4e 80 00 20 blr
It turns out we are adding -fno-omit-frame-pointer to ppc64 which is
causing the above behaviour. Removing that flag results in much better
code:
c0000000000d5b30 <._spin_unlock>:
c0000000000d5b30: 7c 20 04 ac lwsync
c0000000000d5b34: 38 00 00 00 li r0,0
c0000000000d5b38: 90 03 00 00 stw r0,0(r3)
c0000000000d5b3c: 4e 80 00 20 blr
We dont require a frame pointer to debug on ppc64, so remove it.

The code that parses the OF device tree contains an old bogus hack which
was killed a long time ago on ppc32, but survived in ppc64. It was
supposed to help with a problem on the f50 which is ... a 32 bits machine
:) Additionally, that hack is causing problems, so let's just get rid of
it.

This patch adds detection of the Altivec capability of the CPU via the
firmware in addition to the cpu table. This allows newer CPUs that aren't
in the table to still have working altivec support in the kernel.
It also fixes a problem where if a CPU isn't recognized as having altivec
features, and takes an altivec unavailable exception due to userland
issuing altivec instructions, the kernel would happily enable it and
context switch the registers ... but not all of them (it would basically
forget vrsave). With this patch, the kernel will refuse to enable altivec
when the feature isn't detected for the CPU (SIGILL).

This patch reworks the way the ppc64 is mapped in user memory by the kernel
to make it more robust against possible collisions with executable
segments. Instead of just whacking a VMA at 1Mb, I now use
get_unmapped_area() with a hint, and I moved the mapping of the vDSO to
after the mapping of the various ELF segments and of the interpreter, so
that conflicts get caught properly (it still has to be before
create_elf_tables since the later will fill the AT_SYSINFO_EHDR with the
proper address).
While I was at it, I also changed the 32 and 64 bits vDSO's to link at
their "natural" address of 1Mb instead of 0. This is the address where
they are normally mapped in absence of conflict. By doing so, it should be
possible to properly prelink one it's been verified to work on glibc.

In arch/ppc64/kernel/ppc_ksyms.c, we are still exporting
flush_icache_range, but that has been changed to be an inline in
include/asm-ppc64/cacheflush.h which calls __flush_icache_range (defined in
arch/ppc64/kernel/misc.S).
This patch changes the export to __flush_icache_range, thus allowing
modules to use the inline flush_icache_range.

This patch fixes ppc64 __ioremap() so that it stops adding implicitely
_PAGE_GUARDED when the cache is not writeback, and instead, let the callers
provide the flag they want here. This allows things like framebuffers to
explicitely request a non-cacheable and non-guarded mapping which is more
efficient for that type of memory without side effects. The patch also
fixes all current callers to add _PAGE_GUARDED except btext, which is fine
without it.
