Use a ring-buffer like multi-version object structure which allows
always having a coherent object; we use this to avoid having to
disable IRQs while reading sched_clock() and avoids a problem when
getting an NMI while changing the cyc2ns data.

There are no __cycles_2_ns() users outside of arch/x86/kernel/tsc.c,
so move it there.

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives
and hence don't need to include &lt;linux/init.h&gt;.  Most are just a
left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to
code getting copied from one driver to the next.

<title>sched/x86: Fix overflow in cyc2ns_offset</title>

<content type='text'>
When a machine boots up, the TSC generally gets reset.  However,
when kexec is used to boot into a kernel, the TSC value would be
carried over from the previous kernel.  The computation of
cycns_offset in set_cyc2ns_scale is prone to an overflow, if the
machine has been up more than 208 days prior to the kexec.  The
overflow happens when we multiply *scale, even though there is
enough room to store the final answer.

We fix this issue by decomposing tsc_now into the quotient and
remainder of division by CYC2NS_SCALE_FACTOR and then performing
the multiplication separately on the two components.

Refactor code to share the calculation with the previous
fix in __cycles_2_ns().

<title>sched, x86: Avoid unnecessary overflow in sched_clock</title>

(Added the missing signed-off-by line)

In hundreds of days, the __cycles_2_ns calculation in sched_clock
has an overflow.  cyc * per_cpu(cyc2ns, cpu) exceeds 64 bits, causing
the final value to become zero.  We can solve this without losing
any precision.

We can decompose TSC into quotient and remainder of division by the
scale factor, and then use this to convert TSC into nanoseconds.

<title>x86, nmi_watchdog: Remove all stub function calls from old nmi_watchdog</title>

Now that the bulk of the old nmi_watchdog is gone, remove all
the stub variables and hooks associated with it.

This touches lots of files mainly because of how the io_apic
nmi_watchdog was implemented.  Now that the io_apic nmi_watchdog
is forever gone, remove all its fingers.

Most of this code was not being exercised by virtue of
nmi_watchdog != NMI_IO_APIC, so there shouldn't be anything to
risky here.

<title>x86: Move tsc_calibration to x86_init_ops</title>

TSC calibration is modified by the vmware hypervisor and paravirt by
separate means. Moorestown wants to add its own calibration routine as
well. So make calibrate_tsc a proper x86_init_ops function and
override it by paravirt or by the early setup of the vmware
hypervisor.

<title>x86: Simplify timer_ack magic in time_32.c</title>

Let the compiler optimize the timer_ack magic away in the 32bit timer
interrupt and put the same code into time_64.c. It's optimized out for
CONFIG_X86_IO_APIC on 32bit and for 64bit because timer_ack is const 0
in both cases.
