Register %ebx serves as the "global offset table base register" for
position-independent code.  For absolute code, %ebx serves as a local
register and has no specified role in the function calling sequence.  In
either case, a function must preserve the register value for the caller.

acpi_copy_wakeup_routine overrides %ebx without saving it, this may corrupt
the called data.

Kevin found that most time the value of Sx is saved in %esi, however
sometimes compiler also uses %ebx.  When this happens, suspends fails since
sleep value in ebx is changed by acpi_copy_wakeup_routine.

Background:
  When a userspace application wants to know about machine check events, it
  opens /dev/mcelog and does a read(). Usually, we found that this interface
  works well, but in some cases, when the system was taking large numbers of
  machine check exceptions, the read() would hang. The system would output a
  soft-lockup warning, and the daemon reading from /dev/mcelog would suck up
  as much of a single CPU as it could spinning in system space.

Description:
  This patch fixes this bug. In particular, there was a "continue" inside a
  timeout loop that presumably was intended to break out of the outer loop,
  but instead caused the inner loop to continue. This patch also makes the
  condition for the break-out a little more evident by changing a
  !time_before to a time_after_eq.

Result:
  The read() no longer hangs in this test case.

Testing:
  On my system, I could replicate the bug with the following command:
    # for i in `seq 15000`; do ./inject_sbe.sh; done
  where inject_sbe.sh contains commands to inject a single-bit error into the
  next memory write transaction.

  This patch is against git f1518a08.

Recently my console UTF-8 patch went mainline.  Here is an additional patch
that fixes two nasty issues and improves a third one, namely:

1. My patch changed the behavior if a glyph is not found in the Unicode
   mapping table. Previously for Unicode values less than 256 or 512 the
   kernel tried to display the glyph from that position of the glyph table,
   which could lead to a different accented letter being displayed. I
   removed this fallback possibility and changed it to display the
   replacement symbol.

   As Behdad pointed out, some fonts (e.g. sun12x22 from the kbd package)
   lack Unicode mapping information, hence all you get is lots of question
   marks. Though theoretically it's actually a user-space bug (the font
   should be fixed), Behdad and I both believe that it'd be good to work
   around in the kernel by re-introducing the fallback solution for ASCII
   characters only. This sounds a quite reasonable decision, since all fonts
   ship the ASCII characters in the first 128 positions. This way users
   won't be surprised by lots of question marks just because s/he issued a
   not-so-perfectly parameterized setfont command. As this fallback is only
   re-introduced for code points below 128, you still won't see an accented
   letter replaced by another, but at least you'll always get the English
   letters right.

2. My patch introduced "question mark with inverted color attributes" as a
   last resort fallback glyph. Though it perfectly works on VGA console, on
   framebuffer you may end up with question marks that are highlighed but
   shouldn't be, and normal characters that are accidentally highlighed.
   This is caused by missing FLUSHes when changing the color attribute.

3. I've updated the table of double-width character based on Markus's
   updated version. Only ten new code poings (one interval) is added.

Having walked through the entire skbuff, skb_seq_read would leave the
