It is claimed that NexGen CPUs were never shipped:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/20/179
Also, the kernel support for these chips has been broken for
a long time, the code intended to support NexGen thereby being
essentially dead.
As an outcome of the discussion that can be found using the URL
above, this patch removes the NexGen support altogether.
The changes in this patch survived a defconfig build for i386, a
couple of successful randconfig builds, as well as a runtime test,
which consisted in booting a 32-bit x86 box up to the shell prompt.

There are no users for the function amd_init_cpu() defined in
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/amd.c. This patch removes this routine.
This patch was build-tested using defconfigs for i386 and x86_64,
and a few randconfig instances. Runtime tests were performed by
booting 32- and 64-bit x86 boxen up to the shell prompt.

At least on my Barcelona, I see MCE log entries after cold boot caused
by BIOS not properly clearing the respective registers. Therefore, this
patch extends the workaround to families 0x10 and 0x11 (the latter just
for completeness, I have nothing to verify this against).
At the same time, provide a way to make these entries visible via the
'mce=bootlog' command line option even on these machines.

There apparently was an unnoticed conflict between an earlier patch to
this file and mine (d1e084746b), which
I noticed only now. I suppose a change like the one below (untested) is
needed; I didn't get any response on a confirmation request for this from
the submitter of the first patch.
The issue is the writing of the 'checkbit' member at the end of
setup_intel_arch_watchdog(), which my patch made go to intel_arch_wd_ops
rather than wd_ops.

* Use new set_cpus_allowed_ptr() function added by previous patch,
which instead of passing the "newly allowed cpus" cpumask_t arg
by value, pass it by pointer:
-int set_cpus_allowed(struct task_struct *p, cpumask_t new_mask)
+int set_cpus_allowed_ptr(struct task_struct *p, const cpumask_t *new_mask)
* Cleanup uses of CPU_MASK_ALL.
* Collapse other NR_CPUS changes to arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.c
Use pointers to cpumask_t arguments whenever possible.

None of these files use any of the functionality promised by
asm/semaphore.h. It's possible that they rely on it dragging in some
unrelated header file, but I can't build all these files, so we'll have
fix any build failures as they come up.

Sets up pat_init() infrastructure.
PAT MSR has following setting.
PAT
|PCD
||PWT
|||
000 WB _PAGE_CACHE_WB
001 WC _PAGE_CACHE_WC
010 UC- _PAGE_CACHE_UC_MINUS
011 UC _PAGE_CACHE_UC
We are effectively changing WT from boot time setting to WC.
UC_MINUS is used to provide backward compatibility to existing /dev/mem
users(X).
reserve_memtype and free_memtype are new interfaces for maintaining alias-free
mapping. It is currently implemented in a simple way with a linked list and
not optimized. reserve and free tracks the effective memory type, as a result
of PAT and MTRR setting rather than what is actually requested in PAT.
pat_init piggy backs on mtrr_init as the rules for setting both pat and mtrr
are same.

Replace the hardcoded list of initialization functions for each CPU
vendor by a list in an ELF section, which is read at initialization in
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpu.c to fill the cpu_devs[] array. The ELF
section, named .x86cpuvendor.init, is reclaimed after boot, and
contains entries of type "struct cpu_vendor_dev" which associates a
vendor number with a pointer to a "struct cpu_dev" structure.
This first modification allows to remove all the VENDOR_init_cpu()
functions.
This patch also removes the hardcoded calls to early_init_amd() and
early_init_intel(). Instead, we add a "c_early_init" member to the
cpu_dev structure, which is then called if not NULL by the generic CPU
initialization code. Unfortunately, in early_cpu_detect(), this_cpu is
not yet set, so we have to use the cpu_devs[] array directly.
This patch is part of the Linux Tiny project, and is needed for
further patch that will allow to disable compilation of unused CPU
support code.
