Add support for synchronous calls to the NFSv3/v4 COMMIT functions.

It is in any case no longer needed.

  - Use correct credentials in the NFSv4 synchronous read/write code.
  - Return correct number of read bytes in the NFSv4 synchronous read code.
  - SunRPC XDR fix: NFSv4 reads when caller requests a non-word aligned
    number of bytes was broken.

This just disables some drivers which are clearly not 64bit clean from
the configuration for CONFIG_64BIT hosts.

Various APIC/ACPI fixes for x86-64. This brings us closer to working
out of the box on the now popular VIA and NVidia Nforce3 based Athlon64
and Opteron boards. To be really good we would need more ACPI changes
(still waiting for that to be all merged through the usual channels).

With this we mostly work with acpi=off at least.

Also it syncs us up with bugfixes done in 2.4.

 - Disable IO-APIC by default on non SMP VIA/NVidia boards.  This is a
   bit of a hack, but needed to work around ACPI bugs.  Can be
   overwriten with "apic". 
 - Add acpi=ht, meaning run ACPI boot setup, but do not enable the
   interpreter.  Same as i386.
 - Stop MADT parsing early when local APIC or IO-APIC are disabled
 - Add more option parsing early enough to actually change the boot
   process
 - Update documentation for command line options

Patch from Bjorn Helgaas

Intel 870 firmware reports an extra zero-length IO port range, which
is bogus, as far as I can tell.  Ignore it.

Patch from Yves Rutschle.

This cset allows LART to build again.

This allows PPC to insert resource descriptors later on after boot.

this correctly

This patch replaces many assert statements, which caused a BUG(), with
improved code to mark the superblock dirty and then proceed as specified by
the errors= mount flag (as ext2 and ext3 do).  JFS's default for the errors
option is "remount-ro" in order to prevent addition data corruption when a
problem is found.

These asserts are usually triggered by on-disk data corruption.  By marking
the superblock dirty, fsck will perform a complete check on the file system
and correct the problems, rather than simply replaying the journal, inviting
later trouble.

breaks everybody else.

Instead, fix the NOMMU case by avoiding the part that walks page
tables.
