This makes the swsusp_info structure become the header of the image in the
literal sense (ie. it is saved to the swap and read before any other image
data with the help of the swsusp's swap map structure, so generally it is
treated in the same way as the rest of the image).
The main thing it does is to make swsusp_header contain the offset of the swap
map used to track the image data pages rather than the offset of swsusp_info.
Simultaneously, swsusp_info becomes the first image page written to the swap.
The other changes are generally consequences of the above with a few
exceptions (there's some consolidation in the image reading part as a few
functions turn into trivial wrappers around something else).

This patch fixes a problem with the function enough_free_mem() used by
swsusp to verify if there is a sufficient number of memory pages available
to it to create and save the suspend image.
Namely, enough_free_mem() uses nr_free_pages() to obtain the number of free
memory pages, which is incorrect, because this function returns the total
number of free pages, including free highmem pages, and the highmem pages
cannot be used by swsusp for storing the image data.
The patch makes enough_free_mem() avoid counting the free highmem
pages as available to swsusp.

This patch introduces the swap map structure that can be used by swsusp for
keeping tracks of data pages written to the swap. The structure itself is
described in a comment within the patch.
The overall idea is to reduce the amount of metadata written to the swap and
to write and read the image pages sequentially, in a file-alike way. This
makes the swap-handling part of swsusp fairly independent of its
snapshot-handling part and will hopefully allow us to completely separate
these two parts in the future.
This patch is needed to remove the suspend image size limit imposed by the
limited size of the swsusp_info structure, which is essential for x86-64
systems with more than 512 MB of RAM.

o Currently, during kexec reboot, IOAPIC is re-programmed back to virtual
wire mode if there was an i8259 connected to it. This enables getting
timer interrupts in second kernel in legacy mode.
o After putting into virtual wire mode, IOAPIC delivers the i8259 interrupts
to CPU0. This works well for kexec but not for kdump as we might crash
on a different CPU and second kernel will not see timer interrupts.
o This patch modifies the redirection table entry to deliver the timer
interrupts to the cpu we are rebooting (instead of hardcoding to zero).
This ensures that second kernel receives timer interrupts even on a
non-boot cpu.

The 'make rodata read-only' patch in -mm exposes a latent bug in the 32-bit
change_page_attr() function, which causes certain CPUs (Those with NX
basically) to reboot instantly after pages are marked read-only.
The same bug got fixed a while back on x86-64, but never got propagated to
i386.
Stuart Hayes from Dell also picked up on this last June, but it never got
fixed, as the only thing affected by it aparently was the nvidia driver.
Blatantly stealing description from his post..
"It doesn't appear to be fixed (in the i386 arch). The
change_page_attr()/split_large_page() code will still still set all the
4K PTEs to PAGE_KERNEL (setting the _PAGE_NX bit) when a large page
needs to be split.
This wouldn't be a problem for the bulk of the kernel memory, but there
are pages in the lower 4MB of memory that's free, and are part of large
executable pages that also contain kernel code. If change_page_attr()
is called on these, it will set the _PAGE_NX bit on the whole 2MB region
that was covered by the large page, causing a large chunk of kernel code
to be non-executable."

When we bring up a new CPU via INIT/startup IPI messages, the CPU that's
coming up sends a xTPR message to the chipset. Intel chipsets (at least)
don't provide any architectural guarantee on what the chipset will do with
this message. For example, the E850x chipsets uses this xTPR message to
interpret the interrupt operating mode of the platform. When the CPU
coming online sends this message, it always indicates that it is in logical
flat mode. For the CPU hotplug case, the platform may already be
functioning in cluster APIC mode at this time, the chipset can get confused
and mishandle I/O device and IPI interrupt routing.
The situation eventually gets corrected when the new CPU sends another xTPR
update when we switch it to cluster mode, but there's a window during which
the chipset may be in an inconsistent state. This patch avoids this
problem by using the flat physical interrupt delivery mode instead of
cluster mode for bigsmp (>8 cpu) support.

Bug fix required for the .rodata work on x86-64:
when change_page_attr() and friends need to break up a 2Mb page into 4Kb
pages, it always set the NX bit on the PMD, which causes the cpu to consider
the entire 2Mb region to be NX regardless of the actual PTE perms. This is
fine in general, with one big exception: the 2Mb page that covers the last
part of the kernel .text! The fix is to not invent a new permission for the
new PMD entry, but to just inherit the existing one minus the PSE bit.
