ATI chipsets tend to generate double timer interrupts for the local APIC
timer when both the 8254 and the IO-APIC timer pins are enabled. This is
because they route it to both and the result is anded together and the CPU
ends up processing it twice.
This patch changes check_timer to disable the 8254 routing for interrupt 0.
I think it would be safe on all chipsets actually (i tested it on a couple
and it worked everywhere) and Windows seems to do it in a similar way, but
to be conservative this patch only enables this mode on ATI (and adds
options to enable/disable too)
Ported over from a similar x86-64 change.
I reused the ACPI earlyquirk infrastructure for the ATI bridge check, but
tweaked it a bit to work even without ACPI.
Inspired by a patch from Chuck Ebbert, but redone.

When compiling a non-default subarch, topology.c is missing from the kernel
build. This causes builds with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU to fail. In addition,
on Intel processors with cpuid level > 4, it causes intel_cacheinfo.c to
reference uninitialized data that should have been set up by the initcall
in topology.c which calls register_cpu. This causes a kernel panic on boot
on newer Intel processors. Moving topology.c to arch/i386/kernel fixes
both of these problems.
Thanks to Dan Hecht for finding and fixing this problem.

- Moving the crash_dump.c file to arch dependent part as kmap_atomic_pfn is
specific to i386 and highmem may not exist in other archs.
- Use ioremap for x86_64 to map the previous kernel memory.
- In copy_oldmem_page(), we now directly copy to the user/kernel buffer and
avoid the unneccesary copy to a kmalloc'd page.

This adds an option to remove vm86 support under CONFIG_EMBEDDED. Saves
about 5k.
This version eliminates most of the #ifdefs of the previous version and
instead uses function stubs in vm86.h. Also, release_vm86_irqs is moved
from asm-i386/irq.h to a more appropriate home in vm86.h so that the stubs
can live together.

arch/i386/kernel/vsyscall-note.o is not listed as a target so its .cmd file
is neither considered as a target nor is it read on the next build. This
causes vsyscall-note.o to be rebuilt every time that you run make, which
causes vmlinux to be rebuilt every time.

This patch adds an ELF note to the vDSO giving the LINUX_VERSION_CODE

syscall it now always does at startup to ascertain the kernel ABI

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
