Modified dvb_register_adapter() to avoid kmalloc/kfree. Drivers have to embed
struct dvb_adapter into their private data struct from now on. (Andreas

Collected NMI watchdog fixes.
- Fix call of check_nmi_watchdog
- Remove earlier move of check_nmi_watchdog to later. It does not fix the
race it was supposed to fix fully.
- Remove unused P6 definitions
- Add support for performance counter based watchdog on P4 systems.
This allows to run it only once per second, which saves some CPU time.
Previously it would run at 1000Hz, which was too much.
Code ported from i386
Make this the default on Intel systems.
- Use check_nmi_watchdog with local APIC based nmi
- Fix race in touch_nmi_watchdog
- Fix bug that caused incorrect performance counters to be programmed in a
few cases on K8.
- Remove useless check for local APIC
- Use local_t and per_cpu variables for per CPU data.
- Keep other CPUs busy during check_nmi_watchdog to make sure they really
tick when in lapic mode.
- Only check CPUs that are actually online.
- Various other fixes.
- Fix fallback path when MSRs are unimplemented

There are unfortunately more and more multi processor Opteron systems which
don't have HPET timer support in the southbridge. This covers in particular
Nvidia and VIA chipsets. They also don't guarantee that the TSCs are
synchronized between CPUs; and especially with MP powernow the systems are
nearly unusable because the time gets very inconsistent between CPUs.
The timer code for x86-64 was originally written under the assumption that we
could fall back to the HPET timer on such systems. But this doesn't work
there.
Another alternative is to use the ACPI PM timer as primary time source. This
patch does that. The kernel only uses PM timer when there is no other choice
because it has some disadvantages.
Ported over from i386. It should be faster than the i386 version because I
dropped the "read three times" workaround, but is still considerable slower
than HPET and also does not work together with vsyscalls which have to be
disabled.

Actually remove elf.h in the tree. The previous patch, due to a quilt
bug/misuse, left it in the tree as a 0-length file, preventing the build to
see it as missing and to generate a symlink in its place.

Updated patch to fix erroneous flush of COMRESET set and missing flush
of COMRESET clear. Created a new routine scr_write_flush() to try to
prevent this in the future. Also, this patch is based on libata-2.6
instead of the previous libata-dev-2.6 based patch.

Move the locking for copy_user_page() and clear_user_page() into
the implementations which require locking. For simple memcpy/
memset based implementations, the locking is extra overhead which
is not necessary, and prevents preemption occuring.
