Impact: reduce kernel memory usage when CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y
Straightforward conversion: done for 32 and 64 bit kernels.
node_to_cpumask_map is now a cpumask_var_t array.
64-bit used to be a dynamic cpumask_t array, and 32-bit used to be a
static cpumask_t array.

Impact: cleanup
We take the 64-bit code and use it on 32-bit as well. The new file
is called mm/numa.c.
In a minor cleanup, we use cpu_none_mask instead of declaring a local
cpu_mask_none.

Impact: implement new API
We define arch_send_call_function_ipi_mask and generic kernel/smp.c
code creates arch_send_call_function_ipi() as a wrapper.

Impact: reduce per-cpu size for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y
In most places it's cleaner to use the accessors cpu_sibling_mask()
and cpu_core_mask() wrappers which already exist.
I couldn't avoid cleaning up the access in oprofile, either.

Impact: 32/64-bit consolidation
In a first step, this allows fixing phys_addr_valid() for PAE (which
until now reported all addresses to be valid). Subsequently, this will
also allow simplifying some MTRR handling code.

Impact: obsolete feature removal
The zImage kernel format has been functionally unused for a very long
time. It is just barely possible to build a modern kernel that still
fits within the zImage size limit, but it is highly unlikely that
anyone ever uses it. Furthermore, although it is still supported by
most bootloaders, it has been at best poorly tested (or not tested at
all); some bootloaders are even known to not support zImage at all and
not having even noticed.
Also remove some really obsolete constants that no longer have any
meaning.

1) .p2align 4 and .align 16 are the same meaning
(until a.out format for i386 is used which is
not our case for CONFIG_X86_ALIGNMENT_16 anyway)
2) having 15 as max allowed bytes to be skipped
does not make sense on modulo 16

Introduce:
cat /sys/kernel/debug/x86/cpu/*
for Intel and AMD processors to view / debug the state of each CPU.
By using this we can debug whole range of registers and other
cpu information for debugging purpose and monitor how things
are changing.
This can be useful for developers as well as for users.

Impact: generic addr <-> pcpu ptr conversion macros
There's nothing arch specific about x86 __addr_to_pcpu_ptr() and
__pcpu_ptr_to_addr(). With proper __per_cpu_load and __per_cpu_start
defined, they'll do the right thing regardless of actual layout.
Move these macros from arch/x86/include/asm/percpu.h to mm/percpu.c
and allow archs to override it as necessary.

Impact: fix math-emu related crash while using GDB/ptrace
init_fpu() calls finit to initialize a task's xstate, while finit always
works on the current task. If we use PTRACE_GETFPREGS on another
process and both processes did not already use floating point, we get
a null pointer exception in finit.
This patch creates a new function finit_task that takes a task_struct
parameter. finit becomes a wrapper that simply calls finit_task with
current. On the plus side this avoids many calls to get_current which
would each resolve to an inline assembler mov instruction.
An empty finit_task has been added to i387.h to avoid linker errors in
case the compiler still emits the call in init_fpu when
CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION is not defined.
The declaration of finit in i387.h has been removed as the remaining
code using this function gets its prototype from fpu_proto.h.
