Impact: fix lazy context switch API
Pass the previous and next tasks into the context switch start
end calls, so that the called functions can properly access the
task state (esp in end_context_switch, in which the next task
is not yet completely current).

Impact: allow preemption during lazy mmu updates
If we're in lazy mmu mode when context switching, leave
lazy mmu mode, but remember the task's state in
TIF_LAZY_MMU_UPDATES. When we resume the task, check this
flag and re-enter lazy mmu mode if its set.
This sets things up for allowing lazy mmu mode while preemptible,
though that won't actually be active until the next change.

Impact: simplification, robustness
Make paravirt_lazy_mode() always return PARAVIRT_LAZY_NONE
when in an interrupt. This prevents interrupt code from
accidentally inheriting an outer lazy state, and instead
does everything synchronously. Outer batched operations
are left deferred.

Some BIOSes report very high frequency transition latency which are plainly
wrong on CPus that can change frequency using native MSR interface.
One such system is IBM T42 (2327-8ZU) as reported by Owen Taylor and
Rik van Riel.
cpufreq_ondemand driver uses this transition latency to come up with a
reasonable sampling interval to sample CPU usage and with such high
latency value, ondemand sampling interval ends up being very high
(0.5 sec, in this particular case), resulting in performance impact due to
slow response to increasing frequency.
Fix it by capping-off the transition latency to 20uS for native MSR based
frequency transitions.

Partial revert of commit 129d8bc828
titled 'x86: don't compile vsmp_64 for 32bit'
Commit reverted to compile vsmp_64.c if CONFIG_X86_64 is defined,
since is_vsmp_box() needs to indicate that TSCs are not synchronized, and
hence, not a valid time source, even when CONFIG_X86_VSMP is not defined.

Impact: get correct smp_affinity as user requested
The effect of setting desc->affinity (ie. from userspace via sysfs) has
varied over time. In 2.6.27, the 32-bit code anded the value with
cpu_online_map, and both 32 and 64-bit did that anding whenever a cpu
was unplugged.
2.6.29 consolidated this into one routine (and fixed hotplug) but
introduced another variation: anding the affinity with cfg->domain.
We should just set it to what the user said - if possible.
(cpu_mask_to_apicid_and already takes cpu_online_mask into account)

Eric pointed out that desc->affinity should be what the user requested,
if it is at all possible to honor the user space request.
This bug got introduced by commit 22f65d31b "x86: Update io_apic.c to use
