this allows us to move several functions more early instead of waiting

That includes moving relocate_initrd() earlier in the bootup, and kva
related early setup done in initmem_init. (in followup patches)

There is no need to keep NMI_DISABLED definition and use it
for nmi_watchdog by default. Here is the point why:
- IO-APIC and APIC chips are programmed for nmi_watchdog support at very
early stage of kernel booting and not having nmi_watchdog specified as
boot option lead only to nmi_watchdog becomes to NMI_NONE anyway
- enable nmi_watchdog thru /proc/sys/kernel/nmi if it was not specified at
boot is not possible too (even having this sysfs entry)

Add support for overlapping early memory reservations.
In general, they still can't overlap, and will panic
with "Overlapping early reservations" if they do overlap.
But if a memory range is reserved with the new call:
reserve_early_overlap_ok()
rather than with the usual call:
reserve_early()
then subsequent early reservations are allowed to overlap.
This new reserve_early_overlap_ok() call is only used in one
place so far, which is the "BIOS reserved" reservation for the
the EBDA region, which out of Paranoia reserves more than what
the BIOS might have specified, and which thus might overlap with
another legitimate early memory reservation (such as, perhaps,
the EFI memmap.)

We create a version of it for i386, and then take the CONFIG_X86_64

i386 and x86_64 used two different schemes for maintaining the gdt.
With this patch, x86_64 initial gdt table is defined in a .c file,
same way as i386 is now. Also, we call it "gdt_page", and the descriptor,
"early_gdt_descr". This way we achieve common naming, which can allow for
more code integration.

Making a variable page-aligned by using
__attribute__((section(".data.page_aligned"))) is fragile because if
sizeof(variable) is not also a multiple of page size, it leaves
variables in the remainder of the section unaligned.
This patch introduces two new qualifiers, __page_aligned_data and
__page_aligned_bss to set the section *and* the alignment of
variables. This makes page-aligned variables more robust because the
linker will make sure they're aligned properly. Unfortunately it
requires *all* page-aligned data to use these macros...

The VLAN code contains multiple spots that use tag, id and tci as
identifiers for arguments and variables incorrectly and they actually
contain or are expected to contain something different. Additionally
types are used inconsistently (unsigned short vs u16) and identifiers
are sometimes capitalized.
- consistently use u16 for storing TCI, ID or QoS values
- consistently use vlan_id and vlan_tci for storing the respective values
- remove capitalization
- add kdoc comment to netif_hwaccel_{rx,receive_skb}

The function is huge and included at least once in every VLAN acceleration
capable driver. Uninline it; to avoid having drivers depend on the VLAN
module, the function is always built in statically when VLAN is enabled.
With all VLAN acceleration capable drivers that build on x86_64 enabled,
this results in:

physid_mask_of_physid() causes a huge stack (12k) to be created if the
number of APICS is large. Replace physid_mask_of_physid() with a
new function that does not create large stacks. This is a problem only
on large x86_64 systems.
this paves the way to increase MAX_APICS.

TLB shootdown for SGI UV.
Depends on patch (in tip/x86/irq):
x86-update-macros-used-by-uv-platform.patch Jack Steiner May 29
This patch provides the ability to flush TLB's in cpu's that are not on
the local node. The hardware mechanism for distributing the flush
messages is the UV's "broadcast assist unit".
The hook to intercept TLB shootdown requests is a 2-line change to
native_flush_tlb_others() (arch/x86/kernel/tlb_64.c).
This code has been tested on a hardware simulator. The real hardware
is not yet available.
The shootdown statistics are provided through /proc/sgi_uv/ptc_statistics.
The use of /sys was considered, but would have required the use of
many /sys files. The debugfs was also considered, but these statistics
should be available on an ongoing basis, not just for debugging.
Issues to be fixed later:
- The IRQ for the messaging interrupt is currently hardcoded as 200
(see UV_BAU_MESSAGE). It should be dynamically assigned in the future.
- The use of appropriate udelay()'s is untested, as they are a problem
in the simulator.

Lennert Buytenhek points out that the VLAN code incorrectly adjusts
skb->network_header to point in the middle of the VLAN header and
additionally tries to adjust skb->mac_header without checking for
validity.
The network_header should not be touched at all since we're only
adding headers in front of it, mac_header adjustments are not
necessary at all.
