On i386, kernel irq balance doesn't work.
1) In function do_irq_balance, after kernel finds the min_loaded cpu but
before calling set_pending_irq to really pin the selected_irq to the
target cpu, kernel does a cpus_and with irq_affinity[selected_irq].
Later on, when the irq is acked, kernel would calls
move_native_irq=>desc->handler->set_affinity to change the irq affinity.
However, every function pointed by
hw_interrupt_type->set_affinity(unsigned int irq, cpumask_t cpumask)
always changes irq_affinity[irq] to cpumask. Next time when recalling
do_irq_balance, it has to do cpu_ands again with
irq_affinity[selected_irq], but irq_affinity[selected_irq] already
becomes one cpu selected by the first irq balance.
2) Function balance_irq in file arch/i386/kernel/io_apic.c has the same
issue.

When multiple updates matching a given CPU are found in the update file, the
action taken by the microcode update driver was inappropriate:
- when lower revision microcode was found before matching or higher revision
one, the driver would needlessly complain that it would not downgrade the
CPU
- when microcode matching the currently installed revision was found before
newer revision code, no update would actually take place
To change this behavior, the driver now concludes about possibly updates and
issues messages only when the entire input was parsed.
Additionally, this adds back (in different places, and conditionalized upon
a new module option) some messages removed by a previous patch.

According to Petr Vandrovec:
... "What is important (and checked) is address of MMCONFIG reported by MCFG
table... Unfortunately code does not bother with printing that address :-(
"Another problem is that code has hardcoded that MMCONFIG area is 256MB large.
Unfortunately for the code PCI specification allows any power of two between 2MB
and 256MB if vendor knows that such amount of busses (from 2 to 128) will be
sufficient for system. With notebook it is quite possible that not full 8 bits
are implemented for MMCONFIG bus number."
So here is a patch. Unfortunately my system still fails the test because
it doesn't reserve any part of the MMCONFIG area, but this may fix others.
Booted on x86_64, only compiled on i386. x86_64 still remaps the max area
(256MB) even though only 2MB is checked... but 2.6.16 had no check at all
so it is still better.
PCI: reduce size of x86 MMCONFIG reserved area check
1. Print the address of the MMCONFIG area when the test for that area
being reserved fails.
2. Only check if the first 2MB is reserved, as that is the minimum.

When a PCI device is disabled via pci_disable_device(), it's still
left decoding its BAR resource ranges even though its driver
will have likely released those regions (and may even have
unloaded). pci_enable_device() already explicitly enables
BAR resource decode for the device being enabled. This patch
disables resource decode for the PCI device being disabled,
making it symmetric with the enable call.
I saw this while doing something else, not because of a
problem report. Still, seems to be the correct thing to do.

Implemented header file support for the following
additional ACPI tables: ASF!, BOOT, CPEP, DBGP, MCFG, SPCR,
SPMI, TCPA, and WDRT. With this support, all current and
known ACPI tables are now defined in the ACPICA headers and
are available for use by device drivers and other software.
Implemented support to allow tables that contain ACPI
names with invalid characters to be loaded. Previously,
this would cause the table load to fail, but since
there are several known cases of such tables on
existing machines, this change was made to enable
ACPI support for them. Also, this matches the
behavior of the Microsoft ACPI implementation.

Fixed a couple regressions introduced during the memory
optimization in the 20060317 release. The namespace
node definition required additional reorganization and
an internal datatype that had been changed to 8-bit was
restored to 32-bit. (Valery Podrezov)
Fixed a problem where a null pointer passed to
acpi_ut_delete_generic_state() could be passed through
to acpi_os_release_object which is unexpected. Such
null pointers are now trapped and ignored, matching
the behavior of the previous implementation before the
deployment of acpi_os_release_object(). (Valery Podrezov,
Fiodor Suietov)
Fixed a memory mapping leak during the deletion of
a SystemMemory operation region where a cached memory
mapping was not deleted. This became a noticeable problem
for operation regions that are defined within frequently
used control methods. (Dana Meyers)
Reorganized the ACPI table header files into two main
files: one for the ACPI tables consumed by the ACPICA core,
and another for the miscellaneous ACPI tables that are
consumed by the drivers and other software. The various
FADT definitions were merged into one common section and
three different tables (ACPI 1.0, 1.0+, and 2.0)

This patch fixes a kernel panic during boot that occurs on NVIDIA platforms
that have HPET enabled.
When HPET is enabled, the standard timer IRQ is routed to IOAPIC pin 2 and is
advertised as such in the ACPI APIC table - but an earlier workaround in the
kernel was ignoring this override. The fix is to honor timer IRQ overrides
from ACPI when HPET is detected on an NVIDIA platform.

This reverts commit 5491d0f3e2.
As per Andi:
"After some discussion with people who have the affected system it
seems best to revert for 2.6.17. It broke a common BIOS workaround
and PCI-X still doesn't work. Alternative is for people to change
the BIOS which seems to be better right now."
