It's never used and the comments refer to nonatomic and retry
interchangably. So get rid of it.

This converts x86, x86-64, and xen to use the new helpers for
smp_call_function() and friends, and adds support for
smp_call_function_single().

This patch adds paravirt-ops hooks in pv_mmu_ops for ptep_modify_prot_start and
ptep_modify_prot_commit. This allows the hypervisor-specific backends to
implement these in some more efficient way.

This patch updates the kvm host code to use the pvclock structs
and functions, thereby making it compatible with Xen.
The patch also fixes an initialization bug: on SMP systems the
per-cpu has two different locations early at boot and after CPU
bringup. kvmclock must take that in account when registering the
physical address within the host.

This patch adds structs for the paravirt clocksource ABI
used by both xen and kvm (pvclock-abi.h).
It also adds some helper functions to read system time and
wall clock time from a paravirtual clocksource (pvclock.[ch]).
They are based on the xen code. They are enabled using
CONFIG_PARAVIRT_CLOCK.
Subsequent patches of this series will put the code in use.

As suggested by Ingo, remove all references to tsc from init/calibrate.c
TSC is x86 specific, and using tsc in variable names in a generic file should
be avoided. lpj_tsc is now called lpj_fine, since it is related to fine tuning
of lpj value. Also tsc_rate_* is called timer_rate_*

On the x86 platform we can use the value of tsc_khz computed during tsc
calibration to calculate the loops_per_jiffy value. Its very important
to keep the error in lpj values to minimum as any error in that may
result in kernel panic in check_timer. In virtualization environment, On
a highly overloaded host the guest delay calibration may sometimes
result in errors beyond the ~50% that timer_irq_works can handle,
resulting in the guest panicking.
Does some formating changes to lpj_setup code to now have a single
printk to print the bogomips value.
We do this only for the boot processor because the AP's can have
different base frequencies or the BIOS might boot a AP at a different
frequency.

Record the address of the mcount call-site. Currently all archs except sparc64
record the address of the instruction following the mcount call-site. Some
general cleanups are entailed. Storing mcount addresses in rec->ip enables
looking them up in the kprobe hash table later on to check if they're kprobe'd.

Kevin Winchester reported a GART related direct rendering failure against
linux-next-20080611, which shows up via these log entries:
PCI: Using ACPI for IRQ routing
PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 0 of device 0000:00:00.0
agpgart: Detected AGP bridge 0
agpgart: Aperture conflicts with PCI mapping.
agpgart: Aperture from AGP @ e0000000 size 128 MB
agpgart: Aperture conflicts with PCI mapping.
agpgart: No usable aperture found.
agpgart: Consider rebooting with iommu=memaper=2 to get a good aperture.
instead of the expected:
PCI: Using ACPI for IRQ routing
agpgart: Detected AGP bridge 0
agpgart: Aperture from AGP @ e0000000 size 128 MB
Kevin bisected it down to this change in tip/x86/gart:
"x86: checking aperture size order".
agp check is using request_mem_region(), and could fail if e820 is reserved...
change it back to e820_any_mapped().
