    [PATCH] x86-64 updates for 2.5.44 · d05e5732

    A few updates for x86-64 in 2.5.44. Some of the bugs fixed were serious.
    
    - Don't count ACPI mappings in end_pfn. This shrinks mem_map a lot
      on many setups.
    - Fix mem= option. Remove custom mapping support.
    - Revert per_cpu implementation to the generic version. The optimized one
      that used %gs directly triggered too many toolkit problems and was an
      constant source of bugs.
    - Make sure pgd_offset_k works correctly for vmalloc mappings. This makes
      modules work again properly.
    - Export pci dma symbols
    - Export other symbols to make more modules work
    - Don't drop physical address bits >32bit on iommu free.
    - Add more prototypes to fix warnings
    - Resync pci subsystem with i386
    - Fix pci dma kernel option parsing.
    - Do PCI peer bus scanning after ACPI in case it missed some busses
      (that's a workaround - 2.5 ACPI seems to have some problems here that
      I need to investigate more closely)
    - Remove the .eh_frame on linking. This saves several hundred KB in the
      bzImage
    - Fix MTRR initialization. It works properly now on SMP again.
    - Fix kernel option parsing, it was broken by section name changes in
      init.h
    - A few other cleanups and fixes.
    - Fix nonatomic warning in ioport.c
