It is claimed that NexGen CPUs were never shipped:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/20/179
Also, the kernel support for these chips has been broken for
a long time, the code intended to support NexGen thereby being
essentially dead.
As an outcome of the discussion that can be found using the URL
above, this patch removes the NexGen support altogether.
The changes in this patch survived a defconfig build for i386, a
couple of successful randconfig builds, as well as a runtime test,
which consisted in booting a 32-bit x86 box up to the shell prompt.

Linus reported these excessive debug printouts:

Make KERNEL_PGD_PTRS common, as previously it was only being defined
for 32-bit.
There are a couple of follow-on changes from this:
- KERNEL_PGD_PTRS was being defined in terms of USER_PGD_PTRS. The
definition of USER_PGD_PTRS doesn't really make much sense on x86-64,
since it can have two different user address-space configurations.
I renamed USER_PGD_PTRS to KERNEL_PGD_BOUNDARY, which is meaningful
for all of 32/32, 32/64 and 64/64 process configurations.
- USER_PTRS_PER_PGD was also defined and was being used for similar
purposes. Converting its users to KERNEL_PGD_BOUNDARY left it
completely unused, and so I removed it.

Use reserve_memtype and free_memtype wrappers for /dev/mem mmaps. The memtype

Introduce phys_mem_access_prot_allowed(), which checks whether the mapping
is possible, without any conflicts and returns success or failure based on that.
phys_mem_access_prot() by itself does not allow failure case. This ability
to return error is needed for PAT where we may have aliasing conflicts.
x86 setup __HAVE_PHYS_MEM_ACCESS_PROT and move x86 specific code out of
/dev/mem into arch specific area.

This patch introduces a restriction on /dev/mem: Only non-memory can be
read or written unless the newly introduced config option is set.
The X server needs access to /dev/mem for the PCI space, but it doesn't need
access to memory; both the file permissions and SELinux permissions of /dev/mem
just make X effectively super-super powerful. With the exception of the
BIOS area, there's just no valid app that uses /dev/mem on actual memory.
Other popular users of /dev/mem are rootkits and the like.
(note: mmap access of memory via /dev/mem was already not allowed since
a really long time)
People who want to use /dev/mem for kernel debugging can enable the config
option.
The restrictions of this patch have been in the Fedora and RHEL kernels for
at least 4 years without any problems.

For example, If the physical address layout on a two node system with 8 GB
memory is something like:
node 0: 0-2GB, 4-6GB
node 1: 2-4GB, 6-8GB
Current kernels fail to boot/detect this NUMA topology.
ACPI SRAT tables can expose such a topology which needs to be supported.

Increase the number of bits in an apicid from 8 to 32.
By default, MP_processor_info() gets the APICID from the
mpc_config_processor structure. However, this structure limits
the size of APICID to 8 bits. This patch allows the caller of
MP_processor_info() to optionally pass a larger APICID that will
be used instead of the one in the mpc_config_processor struct.

Intel recommends to not use large pages for the first 1MB
of the physical memory because there are fixed size MTRRs there
which cause splitups in the TLBs.
On AMD doing so is also a good idea.
The implementation is a little different between 32bit and 64bit.
On 32bit I just taught the initial page table set up about this
because it was very simple to do. This also has the advantage
that the risk of a prefetch ever seeing the page even
if it only exists for a short time is minimized.
On 64bit that is not quite possible, so use set_memory_4k() a little
later (in check_bugs) instead.

Add a new function to force split large pages into 4k pages.
This is needed for some followup optimizations.
I had to add a new field to cpa_data to pass down the information
that try_preserve_large_page should not run.
Right now no set_page_4k() because I didn't need it and all the
specialized users I have in mind would be more comfortable with
pure addresses. I also didn't export it because it's unlikely
external code needs it.

Even on 32bit 2MB pages can map more memory than is in the true
max_low_pfn if end_pfn is not highmem and not aligned to 2MB.
Add a end_pfn_map similar to x86-64 that accounts for this
fact. This is important for code that really needs to know about
all mapping aliases.
