This effectively undoes the PCI resource allocation changes done in
commit b408cbc7, but leaves the cleanups
of that commit in place.

We're going back to marking the resources reported by e820 busy _before_
doing PCI probing, so that any PCI resource that clashes with the BIOS-
reported memory map will be reloacted to a non-clashing area.

The reason? Larry Finger reports that his laptop has the cardbus
controller set up by the BIOS so that it conflicts with the e820 memory
map, and needs to be relocated. See

   http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6337

for more details.

We'll have to work out how to handle the fbcon problem that caused that
commit in the first place in some other way.

In linux-2.6.16, we have noticed a problem where the gs base value
returned from an arch_prtcl(ARCH_GET_GS, ...) call will be incorrect if:

   - the current/calling task has NOT set its own gs base yet to a
     non-zero value,

   - some other task that ran on the same processor previously set their
     own gs base to a non-zero value.

In this situation, the ARCH_GET_GS code will read and return the
MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE msr register.

However, since the __switch_to() code does NOT load/zero the
MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE register when the task that is switched IN has a zero
next->gs value, the caller of arch_prctl(ARCH_GET_GS, ...) will get back
the value of some previous tasks's gs base value instead of 0.

    Change the arch_prctl() ARCH_GET_GS code to only read and return
    the MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE msr register if the 'gs' register of the calling
    task is non-zero.

    Side note: Since in addition to using arch_prctl(ARCH_SET_GS, ...),
    a task can also setup a gs base value by using modify_ldt() and write
    an index value into 'gs' from user space, the patch below reads
    'gs' instead of using thread.gs, since in the modify_ldt() case,
    the thread.gs value will be 0, and incorrect value would be returned
    (the task->thread.gs value).

    When the user has not set its own gs base value and the 'gs'
    register is zero, then the MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE register will not be
    read and a value of zero will be returned by reading and returning
    'task->thread.gs'.

    The first patch shown below is an attempt at implementing this
    approach.

If the HPET timer is enabled, the clock can drift by ~3 seconds a day.
This is due to the HPET timer not being initialized with the correct
setting (still using PIT count).

If HZ changes, this drift can become even more pronounced.

HPET patch initializes tick_nsec with correct tick_nsec settings for
HPET timer.

AMD systems have a modern APIC that supports 8 bit IDs, but
don't have a XAPIC version number.  Add a new "modern_apic"
subfunction that handles this correctly and use it (nearly)
everywhere where XAPIC is tested for.

I removed one wart: the code specified that external APICs
would use an 8bit APIC ID. But I checked a real 82093 data sheet
and it says clearly that they only use 4bit. So I removed
this special case since it would a bit awkward to implement now.

I removed the valid APIC tests in mptable parsing completely. On any modern
system they only check against the full field width (8bit) anyways
and are no-ops. This also fixes them doing the wrong thing
on >8 core Opterons.

This makes i386 boot again on 16 core Opterons.

When nolapic was passed or the local APIC was disabled
for another reason ACPI would still parse the IO-APICs
until these were explicitely disabled with noapic.

Usually this resulted in a non booting configuration unless
"nolapic noapic" was used.

I also disabled the local APIC parsing in this case, although
that's only cosmetic (suppresses a few printks)

This hopefully makes nolapic work in all cases.

This patch introduces a user for the e820_all_mapped function:

There have been several machines that don't have a working MMCONFIG,
often because of a buggy MCFG table in the ACPI bios.  This patch adds a
simple sanity check that detects a whole bunch of these cases, and when
it detects it, linux now boots rather than crash-and-burns.

The accuracy of this detection can in principle be improved if there was
a "is this entire range in e820 with THIS attribute", but no such
function exist and the complexity needed for this is not really worth
it; this simple check already catches most cases anyway.

Introduce a e820_all_mapped() function which checks if the entire range
<start,end> is mapped with type.

This is done by moving the local start variable to the end of each

still before end, there must be a part that's not of the correct type;
otherwise it's a good region.

The node setup code would try to allocate the node metadata in the node
itself, but that fails if there is no memory in there.

This can happen with memory hotplug when the hotplug area defines an so
far empty node.

Now use bootmem to try to allocate the mem_map in other nodes.

And if it fails don't panic, but just ignore the node.

To make this work I added a new __alloc_bootmem_nopanic function that
does what its name implies.

TBD should try to use nearby nodes here.  Currently we just use any.
It's hard to do it better because bootmem doesn't have proper fallback
lists yet.

Implement memory hotadd without sparsemem. The memory in the SRAT
hotadd area is just preserved instead and can be activated later.

There are a few restrictions:
- Only one continuous hotadd area allowed per node

The main problem is dealing with the many buggy SRAT tables
that are out there. The strategy here is to reject anything
suspicious.

Originally from Keith Mannthey, with several hacks and changes by AK
and also contributions from Andrew Morton

[ TBD: Problems pointed out by KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com>:

 1) Goto's rebuild_zonelist patch will not work if CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=n.

    Rebuilding zonelist is necessary when the system has just memory <
    4G at boot, and hot add memory > 4G.  because x86_64 has DMA32,
    ZONE_NORAML is not included into zonelist at boot time if system
    doesn't have memory >4G at boot.

    [AK: should just force the higher zones at boot time when SRAT tells us]

 2) zone and node's spanned_pages and present_pages are not incremented.
    They should be.

    For example, our server (ia64/Fujitsu PrimeQuest) can equip memory
    from 4G to 1T(maybe 2T in future), and SRAT will *always* say we have
    possible 1T +memory.  (Microsoft requires "write all possible memory
    in SRAT") When we reserve memmap for possible 1T memory, Linux will
    not work well in +minimum 4G configuraion ;)

    [AK: needs limiting to 5-10% of max memory]
