The Intel 7300 Memory Controller supports dynamic throttling of memory which can
be used to save power when system is idle. This driver does the memory
throttling when all CPUs are idle on such a system.
Refer to "Intel 7300 Memory Controller Hub (MCH)" datasheet
for the config space description.

This merges branches irq/genirq, irq/sparseirq-v4, timers/hpet-percpu
and x86/uv.
The sparseirq branch is just preliminary groundwork: no sparse IRQs are
actually implemented by this tree anymore - just the new APIs are added
while keeping the old way intact as well (the new APIs map 1:1 to
irq_desc[]). The 'real' sparse IRQ support will then be a relatively
small patch ontop of this - with a v2.6.29 merge target.

Due to confusion between the ftrace infrastructure and the gcc profiling
tracer "ftrace", this patch renames the config options from FTRACE to
FUNCTION_TRACER. The other two names that are offspring from FTRACE
DYNAMIC_FTRACE and FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD will stay the same.
This patch was generated mostly by script, and partially by hand.

This patch implements a new freezer subsystem in the control groups
framework. It provides a way to stop and resume execution of all tasks in
a cgroup by writing in the cgroup filesystem.
The freezer subsystem in the container filesystem defines a file named
freezer.state. Writing "FROZEN" to the state file will freeze all tasks
in the cgroup. Subsequently writing "RUNNING" will unfreeze the tasks in
the cgroup. Reading will return the current state.
* Examples of usage :
# mkdir /containers/freezer
# mount -t cgroup -ofreezer freezer /containers
# mkdir /containers/0
# echo $some_pid > /containers/0/tasks
to get status of the freezer subsystem :
# cat /containers/0/freezer.state
RUNNING
to freeze all tasks in the container :
# echo FROZEN > /containers/0/freezer.state
# cat /containers/0/freezer.state
FREEZING
# cat /containers/0/freezer.state
FROZEN
to unfreeze all tasks in the container :
# echo RUNNING > /containers/0/freezer.state
# cat /containers/0/freezer.state
RUNNING
This is the basic mechanism which should do the right thing for user space
task in a simple scenario.
It's important to note that freezing can be incomplete. In that case we
return EBUSY. This means that some tasks in the cgroup are busy doing
something that prevents us from completely freezing the cgroup at this
time. After EBUSY, the cgroup will remain partially frozen -- reflected
by freezer.state reporting "FREEZING" when read. The state will remain
"FREEZING" until one of these things happens:
1) Userspace cancels the freezing operation by writing "RUNNING" to
the freezer.state file
2) Userspace retries the freezing operation by writing "FROZEN" to
the freezer.state file (writing "FREEZING" is not legal
and returns EIO)
3) The tasks that blocked the cgroup from entering the "FROZEN"
state disappear from the cgroup's set of tasks.

Using "def_bool n" is pointless, simply using bool here appears more
appropriate.
Further, retaining such options that don't have a prompt and aren't
selected by anything seems also at least questionable.

add CONFIG_HAVE_SPARSE_IRQ to for use condensed array.
Get rid of irq_desc[] array assumptions.
Preallocate 32 irq_desc, and irq_desc() will try to get more.
( No change in functionality is expected anywhere, except the odd build
failure where we missed a code site or where a crossing commit itroduces
new irq_desc[] usage. )

This option has been added in v2.6.26 as a default-disabled
feature and went through several revisions since then.
The feature fixes a wide range of MTRR setup problems that BIOSes
leave us with: slow system, slow Xorg, slow system when adding lots
of RAM, etc., so we want to enable it by default for v2.6.28.

This bugzilla:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11237
Documents a wide range of systems where the BIOS utilizes the first
64K of physical memory during suspend/resume and other hardware events.
Currently we reserve this memory on all AMI and Phoenix BIOS systems.
Life is too short to hunt subtle memory corruption problems like this,
so we try to be robust by default.
Still, allow this to be overriden: allow users who want that first 64K
of memory to be available to the kernel disable the quirk, via
CONFIG_X86_RESERVE_LOW_64K=n.
Also, allow the early reservation to overlap with other
early reservations.

There's no good reason why a resource_size_t shouldn't just be a
physical address, so simply redefine it in terms of phys_addr_t.

Add a kernel-wide "phys_addr_t" which is guaranteed to be able to hold
any physical address. By default it equals the word size of the
architecture, but a 32-bit architecture can set ARCH_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT
if it needs a 64-bit phys_addr_t.

Default the low memory corruption check to off, but make the default setting of
the memory_corruption_check kernel parameter a config parameter.

The corruption check is enabled in Kconfig by default, but disabled at runtime.
This patch adds several kernel parameters to control the corruption
check's behaviour; these are documented in kernel-parameters.txt.

Some BIOSes have been observed to corrupt memory in the low 64k. This
change:
- Reserves all memory which does not have to be in that area, to
prevent it from being used as general memory by the kernel. Things
like the SMP trampoline are still in the memory, however.
- Clears the reserved memory so we can observe changes to it.
- Adds a function check_for_bios_corruption() which checks and reports on
memory becoming unexpectedly non-zero. Currently it's called in the
x86 fault handler, and the powermanagement debug output.

HAVE_AOUT doesn't quite do the same thing as the recently removed
ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT config option. That was set even on platforms where
binfmt_aout isn't supported, although it's not entirely clear why.
So it's best just to introduce a new symbol, handled consistently with
other similar HAVE_xxx symbols; with a simple 'select' in the arch Kconfig.

We don't need this any more; arguably we never really did.
