Due to index register access ordering problems, when using macros a line
like this fails (and does nothing):

	setCx86(CX86_CCR2, getCx86(CX86_CCR2) | 0x88);

With inlined functions this line will work as expected.

Note about a side effect: Seems on Geode GX1 based systems the
"suspend on halt power saving feature" was never enabled due to this
wrong macro expansion. With inlined functions it will be enabled, but
this will stop the TSC when the CPU runs into a HLT instruction.
Kernel output something like this:
	Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = -472746897 ns)

This is the 3rd version of this patch.

 - Adding missed arch/i386/kernel/cpu/mtrr/state.c
	Thanks to Andres Salomon
 - Adding some big fat comments into the new header file

When a machine check or NMI occurs while multiple byte code is patched
the CPU could theoretically see an inconsistent instruction and crash.
Prevent this by temporarily disabling MCEs and returning early in the
NMI handler.

Reenable kprobes and alternative patching when the kernel text is write
protected by DEBUG_RODATA

Add a general utility function to change write protected text.  The new
function remaps the code using vmap to write it and takes care of CPU
synchronization.  It also does CLFLUSH to make icache recovery faster.

There are some limitations on when the function can be used, see the
comment.

This is a newer version that also changes the paravirt_ops code.
text_poke also supports multi byte patching now.

Contains bug fixes from Zach Amsden and suggestions from Mathieu
Desnoyers.

This patch uses the read and write functions provided at system.h
for control registers instead of writting raw assembly over and
over again in .c files. Functions to manipulate cr2 and cr8 were
provided, as they were lacking.

Also, removed some extra space after closing brackets

This patch makes the i386 behave the same way that x86_64 does when a
segfault happens.  A line gets printed to the kernel log so that tools
that need to check for failures can behave more uniformly between
debug.show_unhandled_signals sysctl variable to 0 (or by doing echo 0 >
/proc/sys/debug/exception-trace)

Also, all of the lines being printed are now using printk_ratelimit() to
deny the ability of DoS from a local user with a program like the
following:

main()
{
       while (1)
               if (!fork()) *(int *)0 = 0;
}

This new revision also includes the fix that Andrew did which got rid of
new sysctl that was added to the system in earlier versions of this.
Also, 'show-unhandled-signals' sysctl has been renamed back to the old
'exception-trace' to avoid breakage of people's scripts.

AK: Enabling by default for i386 will be likely controversal, but let's see what happens
AK: Really folks, before complaining just fix your segfaults
AK: I bet this will find a lot of silent issues

The file name is the signature, such as DSDT,
and the contents are the binary table image.

Some tables, such as the SSDT, can have multiple instances.
If just one, the file is SSDT, but if 3 instances,
for example, it will be SSDT1, SSDT2, SSDT3

All static tables (besides teh RSDP and RSDT themselves
are exported.  Dynamic tables, such as SSDT op-regions that
are not declared in the RSDT, will be added in a subsequent patch.

Split ACPI_DEBUG into function trace enabled and not enabled.

Function trace is most of the ACPI_DEBUG costs, but is
not much of use for kernel ACPI debugging.

Size of kernel image increased on test compile:
+ 48k  (Full ACPI_DEBUG)
+ 35k  (ACPI_DEBUG with function trace compiled out)

Performance without function trace is also much better.

Also remove ACPI_LV_DEBUG_OBJECT from default debug level as
a lot vendors let Store (value, debug) in their code and this
might confuse users when it pops up in syslog.
