Merge branch 'x86-cpu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip

* 'x86-cpu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip:
  x86, cpu: Fix detection of Celeron Covington stepping A1 and B0
  Documentation, ABI: Update L3 cache index disable text
  x86, AMD, cacheinfo: Fix L3 cache index disable checks
  x86, AMD, cacheinfo: Fix fallout caused by max3 conversion
  x86, cpu: Change NOP selection for certain Intel CPUs
  x86, cpu: Clean up and unify the NOP selection infrastructure
  x86, percpu: Use ASM_NOP4 instead of hardcoding P6_NOP4
  x86, cpu: Move AMD Elan Kconfig under "Processor family"

Fix up trivial conflicts in alternative handling (commit dc326fca
"x86, cpu: Clean up and unify the NOP selection infrastructure" removed
some hacky 5-byte instruction stuff, while commit d430d3d7 "jump
label: Introduce static_branch() interface" renamed HAVE_JUMP_LABEL to
CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL in the code that went away)

+Description:	Disable L3 cache indices
+
+		These files exist in every CPU's cache/index3 directory. Each
+		cache_disable_{0,1} file corresponds to one disable slot which
+		can be used to disable a cache index. Reading from these files
+		on a processor with this functionality will return the currently
+		disabled index for that node. There is one L3 structure per
+		node, or per internal node on MCM machines. Writing a valid
+		index to one of these files will cause the specificed cache
+		index to be disabled.
+
+		All AMD processors with L3 caches provide this functionality.
+		For details, see BKDGs at
+		http://developer.amd.com/documentation/guides/Pages/default.aspx
