This avoids xtime lag seen with dynticks, because while 'xtime' itself
is still not updated often, we keep a 'xtime_cache' variable around that
contains the approximate real-time that _is_ updated each time we do a
'update_wall_time()', and is thus never off by more than one tick.
IOW, this restores the original semantics for 'xtime' users, as long as
you use the proper abstraction functions (ie 'current_kernel_time()' or
'get_seconds()' depending on whether you want a timespec or just the
seconds field).
[ Updated Patch. As penance for my sins I've also yanked another #ifdef
that was added to avoid the xtime lag w/ hrtimers. ]

This avoids use of the kernel-internal "xtime" variable directly outside
of the actual time-related functions. Instead, use the helper functions
that we already have available to us.
This doesn't actually change any behaviour, but this will allow us to
fix the fact that "xtime" isn't updated very often with CONFIG_NO_HZ
(because much of the realtime information is maintained as separate
offsets to 'xtime'), which has caused interfaces that use xtime directly
to get a time that is out of sync with the real-time clock by up to a
third of a second or so.

ACPI implementations in several TOSHIBA laptops are weird and burn cpu
cycles for tens of seconds while trying to suspend if the PCI device
for the ATA controller is disabled when the ACPI suspend is called.
This patch uses DMI to match those machines and bypass device disable
on those machines during suspend. As the device needs to be put into
enabled state on resume without affecting PCI enable count, matching
resume callback uses __pci_reenable_device().
This bug is reported in bugzilla bug 7780.

Some odd ACPI implementations choke if certain controller is disabled
when ACPI suspend is invoked but we still need to make sure the PCI
device is enabled during resume. Simply using pci_enable_device()
unbalances device enable count. Export __pci_reenable_device().

At present, various parts of the serial code use unsigned long to define
resource addresses. This is a problem, because some 32-bit platforms have
physical addresses larger than 32-bits, and have mmio serial uarts located
above the 4GB point.
This patch changes the type of mapbase in both struct uart_port and struct
plat_serial8250_port to resource_size_t, which can be configured to be 64
bits on such platforms. The mapbase in serial_struct can't safely be
changed, because that structure is user visible.

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.

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

Reenable kprobes and alternative patching when the kernel text is write
protected by DEBUG_RODATA
Add a general utility function to change write protected text. The new
function remaps the code using vmap to write it and takes care of CPU
synchronization. It also does CLFLUSH to make icache recovery faster.
There are some limitations on when the function can be used, see the
comment.
This is a newer version that also changes the paravirt_ops code.
text_poke also supports multi byte patching now.
