Whereas most Orion 5x machine support code would initialise the PCI
subsystem with nr_controllers in their struct hw_pci set to 2, the
DNS323 and Kurobox Pro machine support code had nr_controllers set
to 1.
This was presumably done because on those two machines, the PCI(-X)
controller (nr == 1) isn't used, requiring initialisation of only
the PCIe controller (nr == 0.) However, not initialising the PCI(-X)
controller on boards that don't use it leads to a situation where
both the PCIe and the PCI(-X) controller think that their root bus is
zero, and it messes up IRQ assignment.
This patch changes the DNS323 and Kurobox Pro support code to always
use nr_controllers == 2.

x86: disable mwait for AMD family 10H/11H CPUs
x86: fix crash on cpu hotplug on pat-incapable machines
x86: remove mwait capability C-state check
It depends on the CPU. For AMD CPUs that support MWAIT this is wrong.
Family 0x10 and 0x11 CPUs will enter C1 on HLT. Powersavings then
depend on a clock divisor and current Pstate of the core.
If all cores of a processor are in halt state (C1) the processor can
enter the C1E (C1 enhanced) state. If mwait is used this will never
happen.
Thus HLT saves more power than MWAIT here.
It might be best to switch off the mwait flag for these AMD CPU
families like it was introduced with commit f039b754714a422959027cb18bb33760eb8153f0 (x86: Don't use MWAIT on AMD

1 lock held by dmesg/3121:

The patch aims to fix a performance issue for the syscall
personality(PER_LINUX32).
On IA-64 box, the syscall personality (PER_LINUX32) has poor performance
because it failed to find the Linux/x86 execution domain. Then it tried
to load the kernel module however it failed always and it used the default
execution domain PER_LINUX instead. Requesting kernel modules is very
expensive. It caused the performance issue. (see the function
lookup_exec_domain in kernel/exec_domain.c).
To resolve the issue, execution domain Linux/x86 is always registered in
