struct thread_info is a legacy mess.  To prepare for its partial removal,
move thread_info::addr_limit out.

As an added benefit, this way is simpler.

<title>x86/fpu/xstate: Rename 'xstate_size' to 'fpu_kernel_xstate_size', to distinguish it from 'fpu_user_xstate_size'</title>

<content type='text'>
User space uses standard format xsave area. fpstate in signal frame
should have standard format size.

To explicitly distinguish between xstate size in kernel space and the
one in user space, we rename 'xstate_size' to 'fpu_kernel_xstate_size'.

Cleanup only, no change in functionality.

The kernel xstate area can be in standard or compacted format;
it is always in standard format for user mode. When XSAVES is
enabled, the kernel uses the compacted format and it is necessary
to use a separate fpu_user_xstate_size for signal/ptrace frames.

Unlike ds and es, these are base addresses, not selectors.  Rename
them so their meaning is more obvious.

On x86_32, the field is still called fs.  Fixing that could make sense
as a future cleanup.

Now that all previous paravirt_enabled() uses were replaced with proper
x86 semantics by the previous patches we can remove the unused
paravirt_enabled() mechanism.

<title>x86/rtc: Replace paravirt rtc check with platform legacy quirk</title>

<id>8d152e7a5c7537b18b4e9e0eb96f549b016636dc</id>
<content type='text'>
We have 4 types of x86 platforms that disable RTC:

  * Intel MID
  * Lguest - uses paravirt
  * Xen dom-U - uses paravirt
  * x86 on legacy systems annotated with an ACPI legacy flag

We can consolidate all of these into a platform specific legacy
quirk set early in boot through i386_start_kernel() and through
x86_64_start_reservations(). This deals with the RTC quirks which
we can rely on through the hardware subarch, the ACPI check can
be dealt with separately.

For Xen things are bit more complex given that the @X86_SUBARCH_XEN
x86_hardware_subarch is shared on for Xen which uses the PV path for
both domU and dom0. Since the semantics for differentiating between
the two are Xen specific we provide a platform helper to help override
default legacy features -- x86_platform.set_legacy_features(). Use
of this helper is highly discouraged, its only purpose should be
to account for the lack of semantics available within your given
x86_hardware_subarch.

As per 0-day, this bumps the vmlinux size using i386-tinyconfig as
follows:

TOTAL   TEXT   init.text    x86_early_init_platform_quirks()
+70     +62    +62          +43

Only 8 bytes overhead total, as the main increase in size is
all removed via __init.
