It is only used for PAE kernels in set_64bit.
The problem is that due to a old Windows bug many CPUs need magic MSRs
to enable CMPXCHG64, and we can't do that nicely early enough before
it is potentially used.
But since we only need it in PAE kernels so only force the checking
for CMPXCHG65 with PAE.
This fixes a boot failure on Transmeta Crusoe

Check some CPUID bits that are needed for compiler generated early in boot.
When the system is still in real mode before changing the VESA BIOS mode
it is possible to still display an visible error message on the screen.
Similar to x86-64.
Includes cleanups from Eric Biederman

The VIA C7 is a 686 (with TSC) that supports MMX, SSE and SSE2, it also has
a cache line length of 64 according to
http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/cpu/rmma-via-c7.html. This patch sets
gcc to -march=686 and select s the correct cache shift.

This facility provides three entry points:
ilog2() Log base 2 of unsigned long
ilog2_u32() Log base 2 of u32
ilog2_u64() Log base 2 of u64
These facilities can either be used inside functions on dynamic data:
int do_something(long q)
{
...;
y = ilog2(x)
...;
}
Or can be used to statically initialise global variables with constant values:
unsigned n = ilog2(27);
When performing static initialisation, the compiler will report "error:
initializer element is not constant" if asked to take a log of zero or of
something not reducible to a constant. They treat negative numbers as
unsigned.
When not dealing with a constant, they fall back to using fls() which permits
them to use arch-specific log calculation instructions - such as BSR on
x86/x86_64 or SCAN on FRV - if available.

gcc doesn't support -mtune=core2 yet, but will be soon. Use -mtune=generic or -mtune=i686
as fallback
TBD need benchmarking for INTEL_USERCOPY etc. So far I used the same defaults as MPENTIUMM

Makes UML compile on any possible processor choice. The two problems were:
*) x86 code, when 386 is selected, checks at runtime boot_cpuflags, which we do
not have.
*) 3Dnow support for memcpy() et al. does not compile currently and fixing this
is not trivial, so simply disable it; with this change, if one selects MK7
UML compiles (while it did not).

Make UML share the underlying cpu-specific tuning done on i386.
Actually, for now many config options aren't used a lot - but that can be done
later. Also, UML relies on GCC optimization for things like memcpy and such
more than i386, so specifying the correct -march and -mtune should be enough.
Later, we may want to correct some other stuff.
For instance, since FPU context switching, for us, is done (at least
partially, i.e. between our kernelspace and userspace) by the host, we may
allow usage of FPU operations by GCC. This doesn't hold for kernelspace vs.
kernelspace, but we don't support preemption.
