fix the 3D performance drop reported at:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10328
fb drivers are using ioremap()/ioremap_nocache(), followed by mtrr_add with
WC attribute. Recent changes in page attribute code made both
ioremap()/ioremap_nocache() mappings as UC (instead of previous UC-). This
breaks the graphics performance, as the effective memory type is UC instead
of expected WC.
The correct way to fix this is to add ioremap_wc() (which uses UC- in the
absence of PAT kernel support and WC with PAT) and change all the
fb drivers to use this new ioremap_wc() API.
We can take this correct and longer route for post 2.6.25. For now,
revert back to the UC- behavior for ioremap/ioremap_nocache.

we could call find_max_pfn() directly instead of setup_memory() to get
max_pfn needed for mtrr trimming.
otherwise setup_memory() is called two times... that is duplicated...
[ mingo@elte.hu: both Thomas and me simulated a double call to
setup_bootmem_allocator() and can confirm that it is a real bug
which can hang in certain configs. It's not been reported yet but
that is probably due to the relatively scarce nature of
MTRR-trimming systems. ]

Er, yeah. The patch below should fix it. This should probably go into

I have found that using SMI to change the cpu's frequency on my DELL
Latitude L400 clobbers the ECX register in speedstep_set_state, causing
unneccessary retries because the "state" variable has changed silently (GCC
assumes it is still present in ECX).
play safe and avoid gcc caching any register across IO port accesses
that trigger SMIs.

The outbound translate registers should be programmed with the bus
addresses that are defined in the header files, rather than the
physical address.
Currently it doesn't matter because they're identical, but the headers
currently allow them to be different, and not using the right macros
here means that people are in for a surprise if they change them.

All this code is needed to properly initialize the 460EX PCIe host
bridge(s). We re-initialize all ports again, even though this has been done
in the bootloader (U-Boot) before. This way we make sure, that we always
run the latest init code in Linux and don't depend on code versions from
U-Boot.
Unfortunately all IBM/AMCC chips currently supported in this PCIe driver need
a different reset-/init-sequence.

This patch alters the bootwrapper for a number of machines (roubhly
all 4xx based cuboot or treeboot platforms) to use aliases instead of
the linux,network-index hack to work out which MAC address to attach
to which ethernet device node.
The now obsolete linux,network-index properties are removed from the
corresponding device trees. This won't break backwards compatiblity,
because in cases where this fixup code is relevant, the device tree is
part of the kernel image.
The references to linux,network-index are removed from
booting-without-of.txt. Not only is it now deprecated, but as a hack
applicable only when the device tree blob and fixup code were in the
same image, this property never belonged in booting-without-of.txt
which describes the interface between the kernel and firmware or
bootloaders which produce a device tree. By the time the device tree
reaches the kernel, all the MAC addresses must be fully filled in.

Presently with preempt enabled there's the possibility to be preempted
after the TIF_USEDFPU test and the register save, leading to bogus
state post-__switch_to(). Use an explicit preempt_disable()/enable()
