[PATCH] Essential x86-64 updates
The most important part is that it makes x86-64 compile again. Without that 2.6 users won't be very happy. It also works around a bug that allowed every user program to reboot the system on B stepping K8. Also update to match some recent i386 fixes. Full ChangeLog: - Add acpi_pic_set_level_irq to make ACPI compile again - Work around compat mode K8 bug in IRET exception handling - Increase exception stack. The old 1k stack was too easy to overflow (from Jim Paradis, changed by me) - Replace safe_smp_processor_id with cpuid (needed for above) - When there is only one node always enable fake_node mode - Merge with i386 (NTP gettimeofday monoticity fix, irq nr_vectors change) - Fix compile problem for UP kernels in time/cpufreq - Set all nodes online at bootup - Define node_to_cpumask correctly
