Another piece from the no-idle-tick patch.
This can be enabled with the "apicmaintimer" option.
This is mainly useful when the PIT/HPET interrupt is unreliable.
Note there are some systems that are known to stop the APIC
timer in C3. For those it will never work, but this case
should be automatically detected.
It also only works with PM timer right now. When HPET is used
the way the main timer handler computes the delay doesn't work.
It should be a bit more efficient because there is one less
regular interrupt to process on the boot processor.
Requires earlier bugfix from Venkatesh

For 32bit follow the 32bit implementation from Ingo -
mappings are growing down from the end of stack now
and vary randomly by 1GB.
Randomized mappings for 64bit just vary the normal mmap break

o This patch fixes the problem of secondary cpus boot up. This situation
is faced when kernel is built for default locations like 16MB and
onwards. In this configuration, only primary cpu (BP) comes and
secondary cpus don't boot.
o Problem occurs because in trampoline code, lgdt is not able to load the
GDT as it happens to be situated beyond 16MB. This is due to the fact
that cpu is still in real mode and default operand size is 16bit.
o This patch uses lgdtl instead of lgdt to force operand size to 32
instead of 16.

Previously they would be only allocated before the kernel text at

Now allow the e820 allocator to put them everywhere. Try
to put them beyond any DMA zones to avoid filling them up.

o Currently, during kexec reboot, IOAPIC is re-programmed back to virtual
wire mode if there was an i8259 connected to it. This enables getting
timer interrupts in second kernel in legacy mode.
o After putting into virtual wire mode, IOAPIC delivers the i8259 interrupts
to CPU0. This works well for kexec but not for kdump as we might crash
on a different CPU and second kernel will not see timer interrupts.
o This patch modifies the redirection table entry to deliver the timer
interrupts to the cpu we are rebooting (instead of hardcoding to zero).
This ensures that second kernel receives timer interrupts even on a
non-boot cpu.

Currently we attempt to restore virtual wire mode on reboot, which only
works if we can figure out where the i8259 is connected. This is very
useful when we are kexec another kernel and likely helpful to an peculiar
BIOS that make assumptions about how the system is setup.
Since the acpi MADT table does not provide the location where the i8259 is
connected we have to look at the hardware to figure it out.
Most systems have the i8259 connected the local apic of the cpu so won't be
affected but people running Opteron and some serverworks chipsets should be
able to use kexec now.
In addition this patch removes the hard coded assumption that the io_apic
that delivers isa interrups is always known to the kernel as io_apic 0.
There does not appear to be anything to guarantee that assumption is true.
And From: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@in.ibm.com>
A minor fix to the patch which remembers the location of where i8259 is
connected. Now counter i has been replaced by apic. counter i is having
some junk value which was leading to non-detection of i8259 connected to
IOAPIC.
