Patch from Christoph Hellwig <hch@sgi.com>

There's a bunch of minor fixes needed to disable the swap code for systems
with mmu.

Patch from "Vitezslav Samel" <samel@mail.cz>

Obvious fix of printk level (wrong since 2.5.62).

Patch from: john stultz <johnstul@us.ibm.com>

The kernel will currently panic if it was built with CONFIG_X86_TSC and
someone boots it with `notsc'.

Change it to just print a warning.

Patch from Thomas Schlichter <schlicht@uni-mannheim.de>

Based on a patch from Dave Jones.

It converts a large number of instances of:

	smp_call_function(foo);
	foo();

into

	on_each_cpu(foo);

and in doing so fixes up the preempt-unsafeness of the first version.

s/seperate/separate/

Update x86 drivers so that they can live with the new cpufreq governor
"userspace".

sparc64 doesn't need any change, and I'll send the corresponding patch
for ARM to Russell King.

- update the VIA Longhaul driver to use frequency table helpers and
  the advanced cpufreq driver registration interface.
- cleanup of the ACPI P-States cpufreq driver
- very small update of the core -- set 24API values ahead of the setpolicy
  call.

- switch the AMD Elan, AMD PowerNow-K6 and the Cyrix/MediaGX driver
  to use the advanced cpufreq_driver registration process
- cleanups

Patch from Dave Hansen.

Fix simple bounding error found by some Stanford-checker type thing
to use the proper MAX_MP_BUSSES define instead of a constant.

This simple patch just makes sure the PIT code is available for NUMA-Q
(as its TSCs are not synced).

Has been tested in my tree for over a month on UP, SMP, and NUMA and
compile tested against a variety of different configs.

At the moment, there are two different switches used, irqbalance_disabled
and no_balance_irq ... each of which switches half the code off. This
patch harmonises them into one (irqbalance_disable), and uses the old
subarch stuff as a default value so that this is auto-disabled on boxes
like NUMA-Q that can't cope with it.

Also renamed no_balance_irq to NO_BALANCE_IRQ as it's really a static
defined number now, not pretending to be a switch variable any more.
Now off by default for NUMA-Q, on by default for others, but can be
disabled with the boot time flag if people desire.

Patch from William Lee Irwin

Inline and simplify pfn_to_nid - this is called heavily, it's a tiny
function, and makes a noticable difference in system time for kernel
compiles (sorry, lost the data). Is only used on NUMA machines.

Has been tested in my tree for over a month on UP, SMP, and NUMA and
compile tested against a variety of different configs.

translation_table could be unintialised on machines other than NUMA-Q.
You never see this, as the compiler happens to optimise it away, but
it's still a Really Bad Idea (tm). Thanks to someone whose name I have
unfortunately forgotten for pointing this out.

Has been tested in my tree for over two weeks on UP, SMP, and NUMA and
compile tested against a variety of different configs.

Patch from William Lee Irwin

This moves the node's pgdat into the node's own local memory area along
with the lmem_map.

It only touches arch/i386/mm/discontig.c - ie can only affect NUMA
machines.  Has been tested in my tree for over a month on UP, SMP, and
NUMA and compile tested against a variety of different configs.

Patch from Dirk Behme

Cleanup arch/arm/kernel/head.S a little bit by removing the unused rambase from pgtbl and krnladr macros.

From Marc Zyngier <mzyngier@freesurf.fr>.

It turns out that this bug is only on the pre-production models,
but as a few of them have 'escaped' the labs to the hands of
a few lucky developers, we still need it.

Uses CONFIG_ but doesn't include config.h

As per bugzilla #179

ENTRY implies ALIGN.

1) apic_write_around(APIC_ID, boot_cpu_physical_apicid) places the APIC
value in the lower 8 bits of APIC_ID, when it should be in the upper 8. As
as result, it effectively forces the APIC id to always be 0 for the boot
CPU, which is fatal on SMP AMD boxes.

 Fix: don't do the write at all. The APIC_ID value should be right already.

2) phys_cpu_present_map = 1 means we always set bit 0, but later on
   in setup_local_APIC() we do
        if (!clustered_apic_mode &&
            !test_bit(GET_APIC_ID(apic_read(APIC_ID)), &phys_cpu_present_map))
                BUG();
and the bug is triggered if the APIC_ID is not zero.

 Fix: initialize 'phys_cpu_present_map' correctly.

ACPI DATA blocks (Pavel Machek)

This quirk doesn't work anyway, the actual problem is fixed
in generic PCI code now.

- Fix argument order for cmpbge in non-ev67 __ffs(). This caused a machine
  check in PAL mode early on boot, apparently in swpctx.
- Sync up ret_from_fork with i386. This fixes "Badness in context_switch .."
  flood on UP.

This patch replaces its (possessive of it) with it's (it is)
in the following cases where "it is" is meant.

its a   -> it's a
its an  -> it's an
its not -> it's not

except for the files
   arch/cris/boot/rescue/head.S
   arch/cris/kernel/kgdb.c
where the substitution is "its not" -> "it is not"
to avoid possible problems with single quotes in assembly comments.

This includes asm/unistd.h in the vector handling code for m68knommu.
It needs the local NR_syscalls define.  linux/unistd.h is not assembler
clean, so it must be asm/unistd.h.

This includes unistd.h in the high level vector handling code.  It needs
NR_syscall.
