Ingo Molnar 1b84e1c81f x86, VisWS: turn into generic arch, flip over VISWS to generic arch
this is the big move: flip over VISWS to generic arch support.

From this commit on CONFIG_X86_VISWS is just another (default-disabled)
option that turns on certain quirks - no other complications.

Ingo Molnar 22d5c67c5b x86, VisWS: turn into generic arch, make VisWS boot on a regular PC
first step: make the VISWS subarch boot on a regular PC.

We take various shortcuts for that. We copy the generic arch setup file over
into the VISWS setup file.

This is the only step that is not expected to boot on a real VISWS.

Maciej W. Rozycki 0b9f4f49e2 x86: I/O APIC: Add a 64-bit variation of replace_pin_at_irq()
When an interrupt is rerouted to a different I/O APIC pin the relevant
entry of the irq_2_pin list should get updated accordingly so that
operations are performed on the correct redirection entry.

This is already done by the 32-bit variation of the code and here is a
complementing 64-bit implementation.  Should make someone's decision less
tough when merging the two. ;)

Rafael J. Wysocki e2079c4386 x86: fix C1E && nx6325 stability problem
The problems are that, with the ACPI vs timer overring issue _fixed_,
after using the box for some time (between several seconds and 1 hour, at
random) processes get very high CPU loads (once I've got X using 107% of
the CPU, for example) and the system becomes unresponsive, as though there
were interrupts lost or something similar.

Andreas Herrman reproduced similar problems:

So lets fall back to the IRQ0/INT0 configuration on this box.

This basically restores the dont-use-the-lapic-timer exception mechanism
that was unconditional on this box prior commit 8750bf5 ("x86: add C1E
aware idle function").

call it right after we are done with MADT/mptable handling, instead of
doing that in setup_per_cpu_areas() later on...

this way for_possible_cpu() can be used early.

Yinghai Lu 5f4765f96e x86: move init_cpu_to_node after get_smp_config
when acpi=off, cpu_to_apicid is ready after get_smp_config
so need to move init_cpu_to_node after it.

otherwise, we will get wrong cpu->node mapping, and it will rely on
amd_detect_cmp() to correct it - but that is too late as
setup_per_cpu_data is already called before that so  we will get
per_cpu_data on the wrong node.

Yinghai Lu cb95a13a8a x86: merge zones_sizes_init for numa and non numa on 32-bit
move out e820_register_active_regions from non numa zones_sizes_init()
and remove numa version zones_sizes_init().

and let 32 bit call remove_all_active_ranges() in setup_arch() directly
like 64-bit

Bernhard Walle 32105f7fd8 x86: find offset for crashkernel reservation automatically
This patch removes the need of the crashkernel=...@offset parameter to define
a fixed offset for crashkernel reservation. That feature can be used together
with a relocatable kernel where the kexec-tools relocate the kernel and
get the actual offset from /proc/iomem.

The use case is a kernel where the .text+.data+.bss is after 16M physical
memory (debug kernel with lockdep on x86_64 can cause that) which caused a
major pain in autoconfiguration in our distribution.

Also, that patch unifies crashdump architectures a bit since IA64 has
that semantics from the very beginning of the kdump port.
