This lifts the set_fs(USER_DS) call for signal handler setup out of the
three places copying the same code into the one place that calls them
all. There is no change in what it does.

This lifts the code diddling the TF and DF bits for signal handler setup
out of the several places copying the same code into the one place that
calls them all. There is no change in what it does.
I also separated the recently-added DF bit clearing from the TF diddling.
The compiler turns them back into one instruction anyway. The tossing
in of DF to the same line of code with no new comments was a bit more
arcane than seems wise.

It is claimed that NexGen CPUs were never shipped:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/20/179
Also, the kernel support for these chips has been broken for
a long time, the code intended to support NexGen thereby being
essentially dead.
As an outcome of the discussion that can be found using the URL
above, this patch removes the NexGen support altogether.
The changes in this patch survived a defconfig build for i386, a
couple of successful randconfig builds, as well as a runtime test,
which consisted in booting a 32-bit x86 box up to the shell prompt.

In arch/x86/kernel/setup_64.c, the standard_io_resources array
is needlessly defined as global. This patch makes this variable
static.
This patch was successfully build-tested using the defconfig
for x86_64. Runtime test was performed by booting a 64-bit x86

There are no users for the function amd_init_cpu() defined in
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/amd.c. This patch removes this routine.
This patch was build-tested using defconfigs for i386 and x86_64,

At least on my Barcelona, I see MCE log entries after cold boot caused
by BIOS not properly clearing the respective registers. Therefore, this
patch extends the workaround to families 0x10 and 0x11 (the latter just
for completeness, I have nothing to verify this against).
At the same time, provide a way to make these entries visible via the
'mce=bootlog' command line option even on these machines.

There apparently was an unnoticed conflict between an earlier patch to
this file and mine (d1e084746b), which
I noticed only now. I suppose a change like the one below (untested) is
needed; I didn't get any response on a confirmation request for this from
the submitter of the first patch.
The issue is the writing of the 'checkbit' member at the end of
setup_intel_arch_watchdog(), which my patch made go to intel_arch_wd_ops
rather than wd_ops.

xen_sysexit and xen_iret were doing essentially the same thing. Rather
than having a separate implementation for xen_sysexit, we can just strip
the stack back to an iret frame and jump into xen_iret. This removes
a lot of code and complexity - specifically, another critical region.

Use jmp rather than call for the iret fixup, so its consistent with
the sysexit fixup, and it simplifies the stack (which is already
complex).

64-bit Xen supports sysenter for 32-bit guests, so support its
use. (sysenter is faster than int $0x80 in 32-on-64.)
sysexit is still not supported, so we fake it up using iret.

Make KERNEL_PGD_PTRS common, as previously it was only being defined
for 32-bit.
There are a couple of follow-on changes from this:
- KERNEL_PGD_PTRS was being defined in terms of USER_PGD_PTRS. The
definition of USER_PGD_PTRS doesn't really make much sense on x86-64,
since it can have two different user address-space configurations.
I renamed USER_PGD_PTRS to KERNEL_PGD_BOUNDARY, which is meaningful
for all of 32/32, 32/64 and 64/64 process configurations.
- USER_PTRS_PER_PGD was also defined and was being used for similar
purposes. Converting its users to KERNEL_PGD_BOUNDARY left it
completely unused, and so I removed it.
