The hardware virtualization technology evolves very fast. But currently
it's hard to tell if your CPU support a certain kind of HW technology
without digging into the source code.
The patch add a new catagory in "flags" under /proc/cpuinfo. Now "flags"
can indicate the (important) HW virtulization features the CPU supported
as well.
Current implementation just cover Intel VMX side.

x86: cpu_init(): fix memory leak when using CPU hotplug
x86: pda_init(): fix memory leak when using CPU hotplug
x86, xen: Use native_pte_flags instead of native_pte_val for .pte_flags
x86: move mtrr cpu cap setting early in early_init_xxxx
x86: delay early cpu initialization until cpuid is done
x86: use X86_FEATURE_NOPL in alternatives
x86: add NOPL as a synthetic CPU feature bit
x86: boot: stub out unimplemented CPU feature words
Exception stacks are allocated each time a CPU is set online.
But the allocated space is never freed. Thus with one CPU hotplug
offline/online cycle there is a memory leak of 24K (6 pages) for
a CPU.
Fix is to allocate exception stacks only once -- when the CPU is
set online for the first time.

Krzysztof Helt found MTRR is not detected on k6-2
root cause:
we moved mtrr_bp_init() early for mtrr trimming,
and in early_detect we only read the CPU capability from cpuid,
so some cpu doesn't have that bit in cpuid.
So we need to add early_init_xxxx to preset those bit before mtrr_bp_init
for those earlier cpus.
this patch is for v2.6.27

After fixing the u32 thinko I sill had occasional hickups on ATI chipsets
with small deltas. There seems to be a delay between writing the compare
register and the transffer to the internal register which triggers the
interrupt. Reading back the value makes sure, that it hit the internal
match register befor we compare against the counter value.

We use the HPET only in 32bit mode because:
1) some HPETs are 32bit only
2) on i386 there is no way to read/write the HPET atomic 64bit wide
The HPET code unification done by the "moron of the year" did
not take into account that unsigned long is different on 32 and
64 bit.
This thinko results in a possible endless loop in the clockevents
code, when the return comparison fails due to the 64bit/332bit
unawareness.
unsigned long cnt = (u32) hpet_read() + delta can wrap over 32bit.
but the final compare will fail and return -ETIME causing endless
loops.

The long noops ("NOPL") are supposed to be detected by family >= 6.
Unfortunately, several non-Intel x86 implementations, both hardware
and software, don't obey this dictum. Instead, probe for NOPL
directly by executing a NOPL instruction and see if we get #UD.

The minimum reprogramming delta was hardcoded in HPET ticks,
which is stupid as it does not work with faster running HPETs.
The C1E idle patches made this prominent on AMD/RS690 chipsets,
where the HPET runs with 25MHz. Set it to 5us which seems to be
a reasonable value and fixes the problems on the bug reporters
machines. We have a further sanity check now in the clock events,
which increases the delta when it is not sufficient.

Use cpu/common.c on both 64-bit and 32-bit and remove cpu/common_64.c.
We started out with this linecount:
816 arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common_64.c
805 arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c
and the resulting common.c is 1197 lines long, so there's already
424 lines of code eliminated in this phase of the unification.
