Effectively, make group_isolation=1 the default and remove the tunable.
The setting group_isolation=0 was because by default we idle on
sync-noidle tree and on fast devices, this can be very harmful for
throughput.
However, this problem can also be addressed by tuning slice_idle and
possibly group_idle on faster storage devices.
This change simplifies the CFQ code by removing the feature entirely.

Add a commandline parameter "threadirqs" which forces all interrupts except
those marked IRQF_NO_THREAD to run threaded. That's mostly a debug option to
allow retrieving better debug data from crashing interrupt handlers. If
"threadirqs" is not enabled on the kernel command line, then there is no
impact in the interrupt hotpath.
Architecture code needs to select CONFIG_IRQ_FORCED_THREADING after
marking the interrupts which cant be threaded IRQF_NO_THREAD. All
interrupts which have IRQF_TIMER set are implict marked
IRQF_NO_THREAD. Also all PER_CPU interrupts are excluded.
Forced threading hard interrupts also forces all soft interrupt
handling into thread context.
When enabled it might slow down things a bit, but for debugging problems in
interrupt code it's a reasonable penalty as it does not immediately
crash and burn the machine when an interrupt handler is buggy.

This allows to load the OF driver based informations from the device
tree. Systems without BIOS may need to perform some initialization.
PowerPC creates a PNP device from the OF information and performs this
kind of initialization in their private PCI quirk. This looks more
generic.
This patch also avoids registering the platform RTC driver on X86 if
we have a device tree blob. Otherwise we would setup the device based
on the hardcoded information in arch/x86 rather than the device tree
based one.

History:
v1..v2:
- dropped device_type except for cpu & pci. I have the compatible string
for pci so I can drop the device_type once it is possible
- I lowercased all compatible types. I will need to resend some patches
which have upper case intel
- The cpu had the same compatible string as the soc node. So I added to
the soc node -immr for internel memory mapped registers.
- I added generic names for all parts.
- I reworked the i2c bars matching the way you suggested. I added a
compatible node for the PCI device which only the PCI ids in its
compatible string. The bars (each represents a complete i2c
controller) have a "intel,ce4100-i2c-controller" compatible node. It
is not used by the driver.
The driver is probed via PCI ids (by the pci subsystem not OF) and
matches the bar address against the ressource in the child node. Once
there is a hit the node is attached.
- The SPI driver is also probed via pci. However I also attached a
compatible property based on PCI ids
v2..v3:
- intel,ce4100-immr become intel,ce4100-cp. cp stands for core
peripherals. The Atom data sheet talks here about ACPI devices. Since
we don't have ACPI this does not apply here.
- The interrupt map is gone. There are now plenty of device nodes.
- The "unit address string" got fixed, it uses not DD,V format.
v3..v4:
- added descriptions for compatible nodes introduced here:
- intel,ce4100-ioapic
- intel,ce4100-lapic
- intel,ce4100-hpet
- intel,ce4100
- intel,ce4100-cp
- intel,ce4100-pci
- added a description about I2C controller magic.
- Added gpio-controller and gpio-cells property to gpio devices. Those
properties are not (yet) used.

This patch adds minimal support for device tree on x86. The device
tree blob is passed to the kernel via setup_data which requires at
least boot protocol 2.09.
Memory size, restricted memory regions, boot arguments are gathered
the traditional way so things like cmd_line are just here to let the
code compile.
The current plan is use the device tree as an extension and to gather
information which can not be enumerated and would have to be hardcoded
otherwise. This includes things like
- which devices are on this I2C/SPI bus?
- how are the interrupts wired to IO APIC?
- where could my hpet be?

On systems where the temperature sensor is actually used, the BIOS is
likely to have locked the alarm registers. In that case, all writes
