From: Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de> This driver was bogusly relying on the dropping of the __exit section at link time. cpia_exit() is calling proc_cpia_destroy(), which doesn't even exist if !CONFIG_MODULE.

From: Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de> Some configs didn't link anymore because they got references from .altinstructions to __exit functions. Fixing it at the linker level is not easily possible. This patch just discards .text.exit at runtime instead of link time to avoid this. It will also fix a related problem with .eh_frame in modern gcc (so far only observed on x86-64, but could happen on i386 too)

From: Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de> This patch adds an generic x86 subarchitecture. It is intended to provide an dynamic interface for APIC drivers. There are already three subarchitectures (bigsmp, summit, default) that only differ in how they drive the local APIC. A fourth - Unisys ES7000 - is scheduled to be merged soon. The subarchitecture concept separated this nicely, but it has the big drawback that they are compile time options. A Linux vendor cannot ship own binary kernel rpms for all of these machines. Runtime probing is needed instead. This patch adds a new "generic" subarchitecture that just acts as a dynamic switching layer for APIC drivers. It only tries to virtualize the APICs, no attempt is made to cover further incompatiblities. This means machines like the Visual Workstation, pc9800 or Voyager are not covered; but these are unlikely to be supported by binary distributions anyways. The generic arch reuses the existing interface in mach_ipi / mach_mpparse.h / mach_apic.h and just pulls it using some macros into an "struct genapic" object. The main APIC code does not recognize it, it is all hidden in the mach-generic include files. Auto detection of APIC types is supported in the usual way used by existing ports like Summit - checking ACPI or mptables for specific signatures - or it can be specified by the user using a new "apic=" boot option. I also moved the DMI scan to before the generic subarchitecture probe, so DMI could be used in future too to probe specific machines. Some minor hacks were needed to avoid circular declaration of a few symbols, but overall it's fairly clean. The patch has been tested on a Summit machine, an generic 4 virtual CPUs Xeon and on an ES7000.

user-supplied source checker on all C files before compiling them. I'll release the actual checker once I've cleaned it up a bit more (yay, all the copyright paperwork completed!)

module_put() gets called twice on error. Once via the explicit module_put and the second via sock_release(). Also i think we should do a __module_get() with newsock's owner(although same as the original listening sock).
