Change the threshold number of descriptors used to trigger CMB writes.
The vendor reports that under certain conditions this will reduce the
number of unnecessary tx interrupts and improve rx performance.
This change is lifted directly from vendor version 1.2.40.2 of the L1
driver.

Fixed rare issue that 'lv1_net_start_rx_dma failed, status=-9" was shown
in dmesg. This meant restarting rx DMA had been rejected by the hypervisor.
This issue would caused if the guest os requested starting DMA when
the hypervisor thought the DMA was in progress.
The state machine for DMA status of the hypervisor would be updated
by processing interrupt in the hypervisor.
Thus we should wait for the interrupt delivery before restarting
DMA.

gelic: TX descriptor handling cleanup
- Emitted return value of NETDEV_TX_LOCKED when DMA map or kick
failure.
Now it would free the skb, update drop packet statistics
and return OK. Requested from Jeff Garzik.
- Enable tx queue if number of free descriptors are more than 2
- Fixed descriptor leak if dma map for second descriptor failed
- Stopped calling xmit handler from interrupt handler in order

The recent 9p commit: bd238fb431 that
supposedly only moved files also introduced a new 9p sysctl interface
that did not properly register it's sysctl binary numbers.
And since it was only for debugging clearly did not need a binary fast
path in any case. So this patch just remove the binary numbers.
See Documentation/sysctl/ctl_unnumbered.txt for more details.
While I was at it I cleaned up the sysctl initializers a little as
well so there is less to read.

Due to index register access ordering problems, when using macros a line
like this fails (and does nothing):
setCx86(CX86_CCR2, getCx86(CX86_CCR2) | 0x88);
With inlined functions this line will work as expected.
Note about a side effect: Seems on Geode GX1 based systems the
"suspend on halt power saving feature" was never enabled due to this
wrong macro expansion. With inlined functions it will be enabled, but
this will stop the TSC when the CPU runs into a HLT instruction.
Kernel output something like this:
Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = -472746897 ns)
This is the 3rd version of this patch.
- Adding missed arch/i386/kernel/cpu/mtrr/state.c
Thanks to Andres Salomon

When a machine check or NMI occurs while multiple byte code is patched
the CPU could theoretically see an inconsistent instruction and crash.
Prevent this by temporarily disabling MCEs and returning early in the
