Impact: widen the reach of the low-memory-protect DMI quirk
Phoenix BIOSes variously identify their vendor as "Phoenix Technologies,
LTD" or "Phoenix Technologies LTD" (without the comma.)
This patch makes the identification string in the bad_bios_dmi_table
more general (following a suggestion by Ingo Molnar), so that both
versions are handled.
Again, the patched file compiles cleanly and the patch has been tested
successfully on my machine.

This merges branches irq/genirq, irq/sparseirq-v4, timers/hpet-percpu
and x86/uv.
The sparseirq branch is just preliminary groundwork: no sparse IRQs are
actually implemented by this tree anymore - just the new APIs are added
while keeping the old way intact as well (the new APIs map 1:1 to
irq_desc[]). The 'real' sparse IRQ support will then be a relatively
small patch ontop of this - with a v2.6.29 merge target.

o elfcorehdr_addr is used by not only the code under CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE
but also by the code which is not inside CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE. For
example, is_kdump_kernel() is used by powerpc code to determine if
kernel is booting after a panic then use previous kernel's TCE table.
So even if CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE is not set in second kernel, one should be
able to correctly determine that we are booting after a panic and setup
calgary iommu accordingly.
o So remove the assumption that elfcorehdr_addr is under
CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE.
o Move definition of elfcorehdr_addr to arch dependent crash files.
(Unfortunately crash dump does not have an arch independent file
otherwise that would have been the best place).
o kexec.c is not the right place as one can Have CRASH_DUMP enabled in
second kernel without KEXEC being enabled.
o I don't see sh setup code parsing the command line for
elfcorehdr_addr. I am wondering how does vmcore interface work on sh.
Anyway, I am atleast defining elfcoredhr_addr so that compilation is not
broken on sh.

This bugzilla:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11237
Documents a wide range of systems where the BIOS utilizes the first
64K of physical memory during suspend/resume and other hardware events.
Currently we reserve this memory on all AMI and Phoenix BIOS systems.
Life is too short to hunt subtle memory corruption problems like this,
so we try to be robust by default.
Still, allow this to be overriden: allow users who want that first 64K
of memory to be available to the kernel disable the quirk, via
CONFIG_X86_RESERVE_LOW_64K=n.
Also, allow the early reservation to overlap with other
early reservations.

there's multiple reports about suspend/resume related low memory
corruption in this bugzilla:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11237
the common pattern is that the corruption is caused by the BIOS,
and that it affects some portion of the first 64K of physical RAM.
So add a DMI quirk
This will waste 64K RAM on 'good' systems too, but without knowing
the exact nature of this BIOS memory corruption this is the safest
approach.
This might as well solve a wide range of suspend/resume breakages
under Linux.

Alan Jenkins and Andy Wettstein reported a suspend/resume memory
corruption bug and extensively documented it here:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11237
The bug is that the BIOS overwrites 1K of memory at 0xc000 physical,
without registering it in e820 as reserved or giving the kernel any
idea about this.
Detect AMI BIOSen and reserve that 1K.
We paint this bug around with a very broad brush (reserving that 1K on all
AMI BIOS systems), as the bug was extremely hard to find and needed several
weeks and lots of debugging and patching.
The bug was found via the CONFIG_X86_CHECK_BIOS_CORRUPTION=y debug feature,
if similar bugs are suspected then this feature can be enabled on other
systems as well to scan low memory for corrupted memory.

Such a crash is possible if the CPU in this system is a 64-bit
processor which doesn't support NX (ie, old Intel P4 -based64-bit
processors).
Certainly, if we support such processors, then we should start with
_PAGE_NX initially clear in __supported_pte_flags, and then set it once
we've established that the processor does indeed support NX. That will
prevent early_ioremap - or anything else - from trying to set it.
The simple fix is to simply call check_efer() earlier.

Some BIOSes have been observed to corrupt memory in the low 64k. This
change:
- Reserves all memory which does not have to be in that area, to
prevent it from being used as general memory by the kernel. Things
like the SMP trampoline are still in the memory, however.
- Clears the reserved memory so we can observe changes to it.
- Adds a function check_for_bios_corruption() which checks and reports on
memory becoming unexpectedly non-zero. Currently it's called in the
x86 fault handler, and the powermanagement debug output.

OK. This version changes absolutely nothing if CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL is not
set (the default). Also, no space is appended even when CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL
is set, but the builtin string is empty. This is less sloppy all the way
around, IMHO.
Note that I use the same option names as on other arches for
this feature.

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.

On a x86-64 machine (nothing special I could encounter) I had the problem that
crashkernel reservation with the usual "64M@16M" failed. While debugging that,
I encountered that dma32_reserve_bootmem() reserves a memory region which is in
that area.
Because dma32_reserve_bootmem() does not rely on a specific offset but
crashkernel does, it makes sense to move the dma32_reserve_bootmem()
reservation down a bit. I tested that patch and it works without problems. I
don't see any negative effects of that move, but maybe I oversaw something ...
While we strictly don't need that patch in 2.6.27 because we have the
automatic, dynamic offset detection, it makes sense to also include it here
because:
- it's easier to get it in -stable then,
- many people are still used to the 'crashkernel=...@16M' syntax,
- not everybody may be using a reloatable kernel.

On systems where apicid's are > 255, BIOS can handover the control to OS in
x2apic mode. Or if the OS handover was in legacy xapic mode, check
if it is capable of x2apic mode. And if we succeed in enabling
Interrupt-remapping, then we can enable x2apic mode in the CPU.
