This implements arch_remove_reservations() so allocate_resource() can
avoid any arch-specific reserved areas. This currently just avoids the
BIOS area (the first 1MB), but could be used for E820 reserved areas if
that turns out to be necessary.
We previously avoided this area in pcibios_align_resource(). This patch
moves the test from that PCI-specific path to a generic path, so *all*
resource allocations will avoid this area.

The Iris machines from Eurobraille do not have APM or ACPI support
to shut themselves down properly. A special I/O sequence is
needed to do so. This modle runs this I/O sequence at
kernel shutdown when its force parameter is set to 1.

Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is
most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the
system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers.
Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as
a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also
benefit.
The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where
possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the
built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately.
Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a
callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call
irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such
work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in
processing the work.

Add a pm_power_off handler for the OLPC XO-1 laptop.
The driver can be built modular and follows the behaviour of the
APM driver, setting pm_power_off to NULL on unload. However, the
ability to unload the module will probably be removed (with a simple
__module_get(THIS_MODULE)) if/when XO-1 suspend/resume support is
added to this file at a later date.

Intel Moorestown platform has a spi-uart device(Maxim3110),
which connects to a Designware spi core controller. This patch
will add early console function based on it.
As it will be used long before Linux spi subsystem get
initialised, we simply directly manipulate the spi controller's
register to acheive the early console func. This is safe as it
will be disabled when devices subsytem get initialised.
To use it, user need enable CONFIG_X86_MRST_EARLY_PRINTK in
kenrel config and add "earlyprintk=mrst" in kernel command line.

We are using a very simple sort routine which sorts the .iommu_table
array in the order of dependencies. Specifically each structure
of iommu_table_entry has a field 'depend' which contains the function
pointer to the IOMMU that MUST be run before us. We sort the array
of structures so that the struct iommu_table_entry with no
'depend' field are first, and then the subsequent ones are the
ones for which the 'depend' function has been already invoked
(in other words, precede us).
Using the kernel's version 'sort', which is a mergeheap is
feasible, but would require making the comparison operator
scan recursivly the array to satisfy the "heapify" process: setting the
levels properly. The end result would much more complex than it should
be an it is just much simpler to utilize this simple sort routine.

With the recent innovations in CPU hardware acceleration technologies
from Intel and AMD, VMware ran a few experiments to compare these
techniques to guest paravirtualization technique on VMware's platform.
These hardware assisted virtualization techniques have outperformed the
performance benefits provided by VMI in most of the workloads. VMware
expects that these hardware features will be ubiquitous in a couple of
years, as a result, VMware has started a phased retirement of this
feature from the hypervisor.
Please note that VMI has always been an optimization and non-VMI kernels
still work fine on VMware's platform.
Latest versions of VMware's product which support VMI are,
Workstation 7.0 and VSphere 4.0 on ESX side, future maintainence
releases for these products will continue supporting VMI.
For more details about VMI retirement take a look at this,
http://blogs.vmware.com/guestosguide/2009/09/vmi-retirement.html
This feature removal was scheduled for 2.6.37 back in September 2009.

Add support for saving OFW's cif, and later calling into it to run OFW
commands. OFW remains resident in memory, living within virtual range
0xff800000 - 0xffc00000. A single page directory entry points to the
pgdir that OFW actually uses, so rather than saving the entire page
table, we grab and install that one entry permanently in the kernel's
page table.
This is currently only used by the OLPC XO. Note that this particular
calling convention breaks PAE and PAT, and so cannot be used on newer
x86 hardware.

Support for the PMU's BTS features has been upstreamed in
v2.6.32, but we still have the old and disabled ptrace-BTS,
as Linus noticed it not so long ago.
It's buggy: TIF_DEBUGCTLMSR is trampling all over that MSR without
regard for other uses (perf) and doesn't provide the flexibility
needed for perf either.
Its users are ptrace-block-step and ptrace-bts, since ptrace-bts
was never used and ptrace-block-step can be implemented using a
much simpler approach.
So axe all 3000 lines of it. That includes the *locked_memory*()
APIs in mm/mlock.c as well.

Moorestown platform does not have PIT or HPET platform timers. Instead it
has a bank of eight APB timers. The number of available timers to the os
is exposed via SFI mtmr tables. All APB timer interrupts are routed via
ioapic rtes and delivered as MSI.
Currently, we use timer 0 and 1 for per cpu clockevent devices, timer 2
for clocksource.

The upcoming Moorestown support brings the embedded world to x86. The
setup code of x86 has already a couple of hooks which are either
x86_quirks or paravirt ops. Some of those setup hooks are pretty
convoluted like the timer setup and the tsc calibration code. But
there are other places which could do with a cleanup.
Instead of having inline functions/macros which are modified at
compile time I decided to introduce x86_init ops which are
unconditional in the code and make it clear that they can be changed
either during compile time or in the early boot process. The function
pointers are initialized by default functions which can be noops so
that the pointer can be called unconditionally in the most cases. This
also allows us to remove 32bit/64bit, paravirt and other #ifdeffery.
paravirt guests are just a hardware platform in the setup code, so we
should treat them as such and not hide all behind multiple layers of
indirection and compile time dependencies.
It's more obvious that x86_init.timers.timer_init() is a function
pointer than the late_time_init = choose_time_init() obscurity. It's
also way simpler to grep for x86_init.timers.timer_init and find all
the places which modify that function pointer instead of analyzing
weak functions, macros and paravirt indirections.
Note. This is not a general paravirt_ops replacement. It just will
move setup related hooks which are potentially useful for other
platform setup purposes as well out of the paravirt domain.
Add the base infrastructure without any functionality.

This patch adds kernel configuration and boot support for Intel Trusted
Execution Technology (Intel TXT).
Intel's technology for safer computing, Intel Trusted Execution
Technology (Intel TXT), defines platform-level enhancements that
provide the building blocks for creating trusted platforms.
Intel TXT was formerly known by the code name LaGrande Technology (LT).
Intel TXT in Brief:
o Provides dynamic root of trust for measurement (DRTM)
o Data protection in case of improper shutdown
o Measurement and verification of launched environment
Intel TXT is part of the vPro(TM) brand and is also available some
non-vPro systems. It is currently available on desktop systems based on
the Q35, X38, Q45, and Q43 Express chipsets (e.g. Dell Optiplex 755, HP
dc7800, etc.) and mobile systems based on the GM45, PM45, and GS45
Express chipsets.
For more information, see http://www.intel.com/technology/security/.
This site also has a link to the Intel TXT MLE Developers Manual, which
has been updated for the new released platforms.
A much more complete description of how these patches support TXT, how to
configure a system for it, etc. is in the Documentation/intel_txt.txt file
in this patch.
This patch provides the TXT support routines for complete functionality,
documentation for TXT support and for the changes to the boot_params structure,
and boot detection of a TXT launch. Attempts to shutdown (reboot, Sx) the system
will result in platform resets; subsequent patches will support these shutdown modes
properly.

Enable gcov profiling of the entire kernel on x86_64. Required changes
include disabling profiling for:
* arch/kernel/acpi/realmode and arch/kernel/boot/compressed:
not linked to main kernel
* arch/vdso, arch/kernel/vsyscall_64 and arch/kernel/hpet:
profiling causes segfaults during boot (incompatible context)

Merge the rest functions together, with proper preprocessing directives.
Finally remove module_{32|64}.c.

Merge the same functions both in module_32.c and module_64.c into
module.c.
This is the first step to merge both of them finally.

This patch introduces the arch-specific implementation of the generic
hardware breakpoints in kernel/hw_breakpoint.c inside x86 specific directories.
It contains functions which help to validate and serve requests using
Hardware Breakpoint registers on x86 processors.
