Allocating PDA and GDT at boot is a pain. Using simple per-cpu variables adds
happiness (although we need the GDT page-aligned for Xen, which we do in a
followup patch).

Trivial typo fix in the "syntax error if percpu macros are incorrectly
used" patch. I misspelled "identifier" in all places. D'Oh!
Thanks to Dirk Mueller to point this out.

get_cpu_var()/per_cpu()/__get_cpu_var() arguments must be simple
identifiers. Otherwise the arch dependent implementations might break.
This patch enforces the correct usage of the macros by producing a syntax
error if the variable is not a simple identifier.

There are several instances of per_cpu(foo, raw_smp_processor_id()), which
is semantically equivalent to __get_cpu_var(foo) but without the warning
that smp_processor_id() can give if CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled. For
those architectures with optimized per-cpu implementations, namely ia64,
powerpc, s390, sparc64 and x86_64, per_cpu() turns into more and slower
code than __get_cpu_var(), so it would be preferable to use __get_cpu_var
on those platforms.
This defines a __raw_get_cpu_var(x) macro which turns into per_cpu(x,
raw_smp_processor_id()) on architectures that use the generic per-cpu
implementation, and turns into __get_cpu_var(x) on the architectures that
have an optimized per-cpu implementation.

When we stop allocating percpu memory for not-possible CPUs we must not touch
the percpu data for not-possible CPUs at all. The correct way of doing this
is to test cpu_possible() or to use for_each_cpu().
This patch is a kernel-wide sweep of all instances of NR_CPUS. I found very
few instances of this bug, if any. But the patch converts lots of open-coded
test to use the preferred helper macros.

Fix (in the architectures I'm actually building for) the UP definition of
per_cpu so that the cpu specified may be any expression, not just an
identifier or a suffix expression.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
