    Andi Kleen authored
    Here is the big 2.5.21 x86-64 sync patch. It only touches arch/x86_64
    and include/asm-x86_64. It requires a few other changes that I'm sending
    in separate mail.
    
    Changes:
    - merge wit 2.5.21
    - merge from 2.5.21/i386 (new PCI code, new LDT code etc.)
    - sync with 2.4-x86_64 tree.
    - minor updates to 32bit emulation
    - better early console; including serial support.
    - now set up dummy PDA for booting to avoid problems
    - Fix GS reloading in context switch one instruction race
    - Remove hardcoded names from mpparse code
    - Fix inline assembly for RAID-5 xor (similar change needed for i386)
    - Real per cpu data support based on PDA field
    - Cleanup of offset.c generation requested by Kai: it only puts structure
      offsets into offset.h now.
    - Fix i387 fxsave signal frame problems.
    - Add uname emulation via personality ("linux32")
    - New SSE optimized checksum-copy, copy*user, memcpy, clear_page, copy_page
      functions. Other tunings/cleanups in checksum and other user memory
      access function.
    - check if exception table is really sorted
    - Cleanups in page table handling in preparation of non executable pages
      support.
    - Cleanup PDA access to not require offset.h (thanks to kai for kicking me
      to this)
    - use long long for u64/s64 to avoid more warnings
    - remove CONFIG_ISA
    - fix various bugs and other cleanups
