Impact: performance regression fix for s390
The adaptive spinning mutexes will not always do what one would expect on
virtualized architectures like s390. Especially the cpu_relax() loop in
mutex_spin_on_owner might hurt if the mutex holding cpu has been scheduled
away by the hypervisor.
We would end up in a cpu_relax() loop when there is no chance that the
state of the mutex changes until the target cpu has been scheduled again by
the hypervisor.
For that reason we should change the default behaviour to no-spin on s390.
We do have an instruction which allows to yield the current cpu in favour of
a different target cpu. Also we have an instruction which allows us to figure
out if the target cpu is physically backed.
However we need to do some performance tests until we can come up with
a solution that will do the right thing on s390.

Impact: fix potential deadlocks on powerpc
Now that the core is using in_nmi() (added in e30e08f6, "perf_counter:
fix NMI race in task clock"), we need the powerpc perf_counter_interrupt
to call nmi_enter() and nmi_exit() in those cases where the interrupt
happens when interrupts are soft-disabled.
If interrupts were soft-enabled, we can treat it as a regular interrupt
and do irq_enter/irq_exit around the whole routine. This lets us get rid
of the test_perf_counter_pending() call at the end of
perf_counter_interrupt, thus simplifying things a little.

Impact: fix build warnings and possibe compat misbehavior on IA64
Building a kernel on ia64 might trigger these ugly build warnings:

sys_ia32.c includes linux/syscalls.h which in turn includes linux/ftrace.h
to import the syscalls tracing prototypes.
But including ftrace.h can pull too much things for a low level file,
especially on ia64 where the ia32 private headers conflict with higher
level headers.
Now we isolate the syscall tracing headers in their own lightweight file.

Impact: Cleanup
Reorganizes the code in arch/x86/kernel/io_apic.c by
combining two '#ifdef CONFIG_SMP' regions. In addition
to making the code easier to understand the first
'#ifdef CONFIG_SMP' region is moved to a location later
in the file which will reduce the need for function
forward declarations when the code subsequently revised.
The only changes other than relocating code to a different
position in the file were the removal of the assign_irq_vector()
forward declaration which was no longer needed and some line
length reduction formatting changes.

The flexible array in the USBH platform data is not safe to copy. The
compiler will not allocate any extra memory for the non-init platform
data structure (in the *_devices.c files) since it isn't given any
defaults at compile time. When the probe function attempts to address
that array, it will actually attempt to access data in an adjacent
structure.
Since there are currently no (known) implementations of the at91 USBH
IP with more than 2 vbus pins, I am capping the value at 2. If somebody
tries to assign more, then the compiler will produce a warning.

Xen leaves XSAVE set in cpuid, but doesn't allow cr4.OSXSAVE

At boot time, try to set cr4.OSXSAVE, and mask XSAVE out of
cpuid it we can't. This will produce a spurious error from Xen,
but allows us to support XSAVE if/when Xen does.
This also factors out the cpuid mask decisions to boot time.

Impact: enable access to hardware feature
POWER processors have the ability to "mark" a subset of the instructions
and provide more detailed information on what happens to the marked
instructions as they flow through the pipeline. This marking is
enabled by the "sample enable" bit in MMCRA, and there are
synchronization requirements around setting and clearing the bit.
This adds logic to the processor-specific back-ends so that they know
which events relate to marked instructions and set the sampling enable
bit if any event that we want to put on the PMU is a marked instruction
event. It also adds logic to the generic powerpc code to do the
necessary synchronization if that bit is set.
