I've pretty much just copied this over from the 2.4 code, with
appropriate tweaks for the 2.6 kernel, plus a bugfix. I'd personally
rather see it printed out the way other arches do it, i.e.
bytes-remaining-until-overflow, rather than having to do the subtraction

[PATCH] x86_64: i386/x86-64 Add nmi watchdog support for new Intel CPUs
Intel now has support for Architectural Performance Monitoring Counters
( Refer to IA-32 Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual
http://www.intel.com/design/pentium4/manuals/253669.htm ). This
feature is present starting from Intel Core Duo and Intel Core Solo processors.
What this means is, the performance monitoring counters and some performance
monitoring events are now defined in an architectural way (using cpuid).
And there will be no need to check for family/model etc for these architectural
events.

On some i386/x86_64 systems, sending an NMI IPI as a broadcast will
reset the system. This seems to be a BIOS bug which affects machines
where one or more cpus are not under OS control. It occurs on HT
systems with a version of the OS that is not compiled without HT
support. It also occurs when a system is booted with max_cpus=n where
2 <= n < cpus known to the BIOS. The fix is to always send NMI IPI as
a mask instead of as a broadcast.

x86_64 and i386 behave inconsistently when sending an IPI on vector 2

The crash code was abusing send_IPI_allbutself() by passing a code
instead of a vector, it only worked because crash knew about the
internal code of send_IPI_allbutself(). Change crash to use NMI_VECTOR
instead, and remove the comment about how crash was abusing the function.

[PATCH] x86_64: Calgary IOMMU - Calgary specific bits
This patch hooks Calgary into the build, the x86-64 IOMMU
initialization paths, and introduces the Calgary specific bits. The
implementation draws inspiration from both PPC (which has support for
the same chip but requires firmware support which we don't have on
x86-64) and gart. Calgary is different from gart in that it support a
translation table per PHB, as opposed to the single gart aperture.
Changes from previous version:
* Addition of boot-time disablement for bus-level translation/isolation
(e.g, enable userspace DMA for things like X)
* Usage of newer IOMMU abstraction functions
This patch creates a new interface for IOMMUs by adding a centralized
location for IOMMU allocation (for translation tables/apertures) and
IOMMU initialization. In creating these, code was moved around for
abstraction, uniformity, and consiceness.
Take note of the move of the iommu_setup bootarg parsing code to
__setup. This is enabled by moving back the location of the aperture
allocation/detection to mem init (which while ugly, was already the
location of the swiotlb_init).
While a slight departure from the previous patch, I belive this provides
the true intention of the previous versions of the patch which changed
this code. It also makes the addition of the upcoming calgary code much
cleaner than previous patches.
[AK: Removed one broken change. iommu_setup still has to be called
early]
swiotlb relies on the gart specific iommu_aperture variable to know if
we discovered a hardware IOMMU before swiotlb initialization. Introduce
iommu_detected to do the same thing, but in a HW IOMMU neutral manner,
in preparation for adding the Calgary HW IOMMU.

- Using all the above, don't update the superblock on
a spare device if the update is just doing a clean-dirty
transition. To accomodate this, a transition from
dirty back to clean might now decrement the events counter
if nothing else has changed.
The net effect of this is that spare drives will not see any IO requests
during normal running of the array, so they can go to sleep if that is what
they want to do.

[PATCH] md: Allow re-add to work on array without bitmaps
When an array has a bitmap, a device can be removed and re-added and only
blocks changes since the removal (as recorded in the bitmap) will be resynced.
It should be possible to do a similar thing to arrays without bitmaps. i.e.
if a device is removed and re-added and *no* changes have been made in the
interim, then the add should not require a resync.
This patch allows that option. This means that when assembling an array one
device at a time (e.g. during device discovery) the array can be enabled
read-only as soon as enough devices are available, but extra devices can still
be added without causing a resync.

[PATCH] md: Fix bug that stops raid5 resync from happening
As data_disks is *less* than raid_disks, the current test here is obviously
wrong. And as the difference is already available in conf->max_degraded, it
makes much more sense to use that.
