    [PATCH] Essential x86-64 updates · 7c382efa
    Andi Kleen authored
    The most important part is that it makes x86-64 compile again.
    Without that 2.6 users won't be very happy.
    
    It also works around a bug that allowed every user program to reboot the
    system on B stepping K8.
    
    Also update to match some recent i386 fixes.
    
    Full ChangeLog:
     - Add acpi_pic_set_level_irq to make ACPI compile again
     - Work around compat mode K8 bug in IRET exception handling
     - Increase exception stack. The old 1k stack was too easy
       to overflow (from Jim Paradis, changed by me)
     - Replace safe_smp_processor_id with cpuid (needed for above)
     - When there is only one node always enable fake_node mode
     - Merge with i386 (NTP gettimeofday monoticity fix, irq nr_vectors change)
     - Fix compile problem for UP kernels in time/cpufreq
     - Set all nodes online at bootup
     - Define node_to_cpumask correctly
