x86, apic: fix initialization of wakeup_cpu
With refactoring of wake_cpu macros the 32bit code in tip doesn't
execute generic_apic_probe if CONFIG_X86_32_NON_STANDARD is not set.
Even on a x86 STANDARD cpu we need to execute the generic_apic_probe

Failing to do so results in we making a call to a null function in do_boot_cpu.

the non-present pte-as-swap entry use of the bits.
__supported_pte_mask contains the set of flags we support on the
current hardware. We also use bits in the pte for things like
logically present ptes with no permissions, and swap entries for
swapped out pages. We should only apply __supported_pte_mask to

Each 'struct module' contains an [NR_CPUS] array of full cache lines.
This patch uses existing infrastructure (percpu_modalloc() &

Instead of wasting NR_CPUS*128 bytes (on i386), we now use
nr_cpu_ids*sizeof(local_t) bytes.
On a typical distro, where NR_CPUS=8, shiping 2000 modules, we reduce
size of module files by about 2 Mbytes. (1Kb per module)
Instead of having all refcounters in the same memory node - with TLB misses

to IDE subsystem.
Changes done while at it:
* Reprogram PIO/MWDMA timings if needed before and after DMA transfer
(chipset uses shared PIO/MWDMA timings).
* Fix cable detection to report 80-wires cable if BIOS set it for any
device on a port (IDE core will do drive-side cable detection later).
* Don't disable UDMA while programming PIO timings.
* Simplify PCI/MSR support.
Pros of having IDE host driver in addition to libata's one:
* IDE is much lighter than SCSI+libata, the host driver itself is also
a bit smaller:
text data bss dec hex filename
1261 496 4 1761 6e1 drivers/ata/pata_cs5536.o
1242 128 4 1374 55e drivers/ide/cs5536.o
* This allows use of IDE features which are unavailable under libata.
v2:
* Fixes per review from Sergei:
- simplify dependency check in Kconfig
- use IDE_DRV_MASK also for ->drive_data
- disable UDMA when programming MWDMA
- program new DTC timings only when necessary
- fix printk() level in cs5536_init_one()
* Fix patch description according to comments from Alan and Sergei.
v3:
* Smarter masking of UDMA bits per Sergei's suggestion.

It downgraded our mmap semaphore to a read-lock while mlocking pages, in
order to allow other threads (and external accesses like "ps" et al) to
walk the vma lists and take page faults etc. Which is a nice idea, but
the implementation does not work.
Because we cannot upgrade the lock back to a write lock without
releasing the mmap semaphore, the code had to release the lock entirely
and then re-take it as a writelock. However, that meant that the caller
possibly lost the vma chain that it was following, since now another
thread could come in and mmap/munmap the range.
The code tried to work around that by just looking up the vma again and
erroring out if that happened, but quite frankly, that was just a buggy
hack that doesn't actually protect against anything (the other thread
could just have replaced the vma with another one instead of totally
unmapping it).
The only way to downgrade to a read map _reliably_ is to do it at the
end, which is likely the right thing to do: do all the 'vma' operations
with the write-lock held, then downgrade to a read after completing them
all, and then do the "populate the newly mlocked regions" while holding
just the read lock. And then just drop the read-lock and return to user
space.
The (perhaps somewhat simpler) alternative is to just make all the
callers of mlock_vma_pages_range() know that the mmap lock got dropped,
and just re-grab the mmap semaphore if it needs to mlock more than one
vma region.
So we can do this "downgrade mmap sem while populating mlocked regions"
thing right, but the way it was done here was absolutely not correct.
Thus the revert, in the expectation that we will do it all correctly
some day.

quantum chemistry application both show slowdowns due to the
scheduler under-parallelizing execution.
The reason are pipe wakeups still doing 'sync' wakeups which

wakee are loosely coupled.
Fix an inversion of logic in the buddy wakeup code.
