ia64_mv is initialized based on platform detected or specified.
However, there is one instantiation of each platform type.  We
don't expect to switch platform vector during run time.  Move
those platform specific type into init section since a copy is
made into global ia64_mv at initialization.

Also move instruction patch list into init section as well.

sparc64, i386 and x86_64 have support for a special data section dedicated
to rarely updated data that is frequently read. The section was created to
avoid false sharing of those rarely read data with frequently written kernel
data.

This patch creates such a data section for ia64 and will group rarely written
data into this section.

Not safe to insert kprobes on IVT code.

This patch checks to see if the address on which Kprobes is being inserted is
in ivt code and if it is in ivt code then refuse to register kprobe.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
