This patch renames VM_MASK to X86_VM_MASK (which
in turn defined as alias to X86_EFLAGS_VM) to better
distinguish from virtual memory flags. We can't just
use X86_EFLAGS_VM instead because it is also used
for conditional compilation

The memory resource is also used for main memory, and we need it to
allocate physical addresses for memory hotplug. Knobbling io space is
enough to get the job done anyway.

A 1G section size makes memory hotplug too coarse in a virtual
environment. Retuce it by a factor of 2 to 512M. I would have liked
to make it smaller, but it runs out of reserved flags in the page flags.

xen does not use the global cpu_initialized mask, but rather,
a specific one. So we change its name so it won't conflict with the upcoming
movement of cpu_initialized_mask from smp_64.h to smp_32.h.

we merge everything that is inside CONFIG_SMP
to smp.h. They differ a little bit, so we use
CONFIG_X86_32_SMP and CONFIG_X86_64_SMP as markers.

This implementation in x86_64 is clean and consistent, but we
sacrifice it for the sake of being equal to i386 (since the other
way around would be harder).

Although those constants are always defined in x86_64,
and will have the effect of just including the headers
in the very way we did before, I'm doing this in a separate
patch to be conservative and avoid surprises.

The code is now the same between i386 and x86_64. We already
know what happens when it reaches this point: They go away
from the arch-specific headers, and suddenly appears in the common
header.

We provide a bogus macro for x86_64 in case CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC
is not set. It will always be set for x86_64, so the effect
is just to make the code equal to i386.

APIC_DEFINITION is not defined in x86_64, so in practice, we keep

equal to smp_32.h.

The new cacheflush.h API's didn't have any comments describing
how they're to be used yet and the conventions around these functions.
This patch adds comments to this effect; in order for that to be
a logical series, some prototypes had to move around.

When compilers became generally better at optimizing code than humans, the
register keyword became mostly useless. For the floppy driver it certainly
is since it's so slow compared to the rest of the system that optimizing
access to a single variable or two isn't going to make any real difference
So let's just leave it to the compiler - it'll do a better job anyway.
This patch does away with a few register keywords in the x86 floppy driver.

On AMD SMM protected memory is part of the address map, but handled
internally like an MTRR. That leads to large pages getting split
internally which has some performance implications. Check for the
AMD TSEG MSR and split the large page mapping on that area
explicitely if it is part of the direct mapping.
There is also SMM ASEG, but it is in the first 1MB and already covered by
the earlier split first page patch.
Idea for this came from an earlier patch by Andreas Herrmann
On a RevF dual Socket Opteron system kernbench shows a clear
improvement from this:
(together with the earlier patches in this series, especially the
split first 2MB patch)
[lower is better]
no split stddev split stddev delta
Elapsed Time 87.146 (0.727516) 84.296 (1.09098) -3.2%
User Time 274.537 (4.05226) 273.692 (3.34344) -0.3%
System Time 34.907 (0.42492) 34.508 (0.26832) -1.1%
Percent CPU 322.5 (38.3007) 326.5 (44.5128) +1.2%
=> About 3.2% improvement in elapsed time for kernbench.
With GB pages on AMD Fam1h the impact of splitting is much higher of course,
since it would split two full GB pages (together with the first
1MB split patch) instead of two 2MB pages. I could not benchmark
a clear difference in kernbench on gbpages, so I kept it disabled
for that case
That was only limited benchmarking of course, so if someone
was interested in running more tests for the gbpages case
that could be revisited (contributions welcome)
I didn't bother implementing this for 32bit because it is very
unlikely the 32bit lowmem mapping overlaps into the TSEG near 4GB
and the 2MB low split is already handled for both.
[ mingo@elte.hu: do it on gbpages kernels too, there's no clear reason
why it shouldnt help there. ]
