8f46924600 x86: enable CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC more widely
make CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC universally available.

CONFIG_HIBERNATION and CONFIG_HUGETLBFS was disabling it, for no
particular reason.

If there are any unfixed bugs here we'll fix it, but do not disable
vital debugging facilities like that ..

0c42f39276 c_p_a(): do a simple self test at boot
When CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is enabled undo the ro mapping and redo it again.
This gives some simple testing for change_page_attr().

6d7d743375 x86 boot : export boot_params via debugfs for debugging
This patch export the boot parameters via debugfs for debugging.

The files added are as follow:

boot_params/data    :  binary file for struct boot_params
boot_params/version :  boot protocol version

This patch is based on 2.6.24-rc5-mm1 and has been tested on i386 and
x86_64 platform.

This patch is based on the Peter Anvin's proposal.

6b0c3d44d3 x86: unify arch/x86/kernel/Makefile(s)
Combine the 32 and 64 bit specific Makefiles in one file.
While doing so link order was (almost) preserved on 32 bit
but on 64 bit link order changed a lot.

Patch was checked with defconfig + allyesconfig builds.
The same .o files were linked in these configurations.

To keep readability of the Makefiles a few Kconfig
symbols was added/modified and it was checked that
they were not used anywhere else.

d0049e71c6 x86: make io_delay=0xed the default
make io_delay=0xed the default. This frees up port 0x80 which is
a debug port on some machines and locks up certain laptops.

Testing only for now. Try the io_delay=0x80 boot option if this does not
work for you.

6e7c402590 x86: various changes and cleanups to in_p/out_p delay details
various changes to the in_p/out_p delay details:

- add the io_delay=none method
- make each method selectable from the kernel config
- simplify the delay code a bit by getting rid of an indirect function call
- add the /proc/sys/kernel/io_delay_type sysctl
- change 'io_delay=standard|alternate' to io_delay=0x80 and io_delay=0xed
- make the io delay config not depend on CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL

b02aae9cf5 x86: provide a DMI based port 0x80 I/O delay override.
x86: provide a DMI based port 0x80 I/O delay override.

Certain (HP) laptops experience trouble from our port 0x80 I/O delay
writes. This patch provides for a DMI based switch to the "alternate
diagnostic port" 0xed (as used by some BIOSes as well) for these.

David P. Reed confirmed that port 0xed works for him and provides a
proper delay. The symptoms of _not_ working are a hanging machine,
with "hwclock" use being a direct trigger.

Earlier versions of this attempted to simply use udelay(2), with the
2 being a value tested to be a nicely conservative upper-bound with
help from many on the linux-kernel mailinglist but that approach has
two problems.

First, pre-loops_per_jiffy calibration (which is post PIT init while
some implementations of the PIT are actually one of the historically
problematic devices that need the delay) udelay() isn't particularly
well-defined. We could initialise loops_per_jiffy conservatively (and
based on CPU family so as to not unduly delay old machines) which
would sort of work, but...

Second, delaying isn't the only effect that a write to port 0x80 has.
It's also a PCI posting barrier which some devices may be explicitly
or implicitly relying on. Alan Cox did a survey and found evidence
that additionally some drivers may be racy on SMP without the bus
locking outb.

Switching to an inb() makes the timing too unpredictable and as such,
this DMI based switch should be the safest approach for now. Any more
invasive changes should get more rigid testing first. It's moreover
only very few machines with the problem and a DMI based hack seems
to fit that situation.

This also introduces a command-line parameter "io_delay" to override
the DMI based choice again:

	io_delay=<standard|alternate>

where "standard" means using the standard port 0x80 and "alternate"
port 0xed.

This retains the udelay method as a config (CONFIG_UDELAY_IO_DELAY) and
command-line ("io_delay=udelay") choice for testing purposes as well.

This does not change the io_delay() in the boot code which is using
the same port 0x80 I/O delay but those do not appear to be a problem
as David P. Reed reported the problem was already gone after using the
udelay version. He moreover reported that booting with "acpi=off" also
fixed things and seeing as how ACPI isn't touched until after this DMI
based I/O port switch I believe it's safe to leave the ones in the boot
code be.

The DMI strings from David's HP Pavilion dv9000z are in there already
and we need to get/verify the DMI info from other machines with the
problem, notably the HP Pavilion dv6000z.

This patch is partly based on earlier patches from Pavel Machek and
David P. Reed.
