Don't use cpuid.2 to determine cache info if cpuid.4 is supported. The
exception is P4 trace cache. We always use cpuid.2 to get trace cache

Add a new sched domain for representing multi-core with shared caches
between cores. Consider a dual package system, each package containing two
cores and with last level cache shared between cores with in a package. If
there are two runnable processes, with this appended patch those two
processes will be scheduled on different packages.
On such systems, with this patch we have observed 8% perf improvement with
specJBB(2 warehouse) benchmark and 35% improvement with CFP2000 rate(with 2
users).
This new domain will come into play only on multi-core systems with shared
caches. On other systems, this sched domain will be removed by domain
degeneration code. This new domain can be also used for implementing power
savings policy (see OLS 2005 CMP kernel scheduler paper for more details..
I will post another patch for power savings policy soon)
Most of the arch/* file changes are for cpu_coregroup_map() implementation.

Fix bug identified by Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>: the `out'
instruction depends upon the state of memory_data[], so we need to tell gcc
that before executing it. (The opcode, not gcc).

When we stop allocating percpu memory for not-possible CPUs we must not touch
the percpu data for not-possible CPUs at all. The correct way of doing this
is to test cpu_possible() or to use for_each_cpu().
This patch is a kernel-wide sweep of all instances of NR_CPUS. I found very
few instances of this bug, if any. But the patch converts lots of open-coded
test to use the preferred helper macros.

Implement SMP alternatives, i.e. switching at runtime between different
code versions for UP and SMP. The code can patch both SMP->UP and UP->SMP.
The UP->SMP case is useful for CPU hotplug.
With CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG enabled the code switches to UP at boot time and
when the number of CPUs goes down to 1, and switches to SMP when the number
of CPUs goes up to 2.
Without CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG or on non-SMP-capable systems the code is
patched once at boot time (if needed) and the tables are released
afterwards.
The changes in detail:
* The current alternatives bits are moved to a separate file,
the SMP alternatives code is added there.
* The patch adds some new elf sections to the kernel:
.smp_altinstructions
like .altinstructions, also contains a list
of alt_instr structs.
.smp_altinstr_replacement
like .altinstr_replacement, but also has some space to
save original instruction before replaving it.
.smp_locks
list of pointers to lock prefixes which can be nop'ed
out on UP.
The first two are used to replace more complex instruction
sequences such as spinlocks and semaphores. It would be possible
to deal with the lock prefixes with that as well, but by handling
them as special case the table sizes become much smaller.
* The sections are page-aligned and padded up to page size, so they
can be free if they are not needed.
* Splitted the code to release init pages to a separate function and
use it to release the elf sections if they are unused.

powernow-k8: Let cpufreq driver handle affected CPUs
Let the cpufreq driver manage AMD Dual-Core CPUs being tied together.
Since cpufreq driver's affected CPUs data, cpufreq_policy->cpus, already
knows about which cores are tied together, powernow driver does not have
keep its internal data for every core. (even a pointer.. it will never
be called on) Telling cpufreq driver about cpu_core_map at init time is
sufficient.

Recent GDT changes broke the SMP boot sequence if the booting CPU is
numbered anything other than zero. There's also a subtle source of error
in that the boot time CPU now uses cpu_gdt_table (which is actually the GDT
for booting CPUs in head.S). This patch fixes both problems by making GDT
descriptors themselves allocated from a per_cpu area and switching to them
in cpu_init(), which now means that cpu_gdt_table is exclusively used for
booting CPUs again.

i386 CPU init code accesses freed init memory when booting a newly-started
processor after CPU hotplug. The cpu_devs array is searched to find the
vendor and it contains pointers to freed data.
Fix that by:
1. Zeroing entries for freed vendor data after bootup.
2. Changing Transmeta, NSC and UMC to all __init[data].
3. Printing a warning (once only) and setting this_cpu
to a safe default when the vendor is not found.
This does not change behavior for AMD systems. They were broken already
but no error was reported.

Also now print power flags on i386 like x86-64 always did.
This will add a new line in the 386 cpuinfo, but that shouldn't
be an issue - did that in the past too and I haven't heard
of any breakage.
I shrunk some of the fields in the i386 cpuinfo_x86 to chars
