The commit 44259b1abfaa8bb819d25d41d71e8e33e25dd36a
    Author: Andy Lutomirski &lt;luto@MIT.EDU&gt;
    x86-64: Move vread_tsc into a new file with sensible options

Removed the -pg from tsc.o which caused the function graph tracer
to go into an infinite function call recursion as it uses the tsc
internally outside its recursion protection, thus tracing the tsc
breaks the function graph tracer.

This commit also added the file vread_tsc_64.c that gets used
by vdso but failed to prevent GCOV from monkeying with it,
causing userspace to try to access kernel data when GCOV was
enabled.

Thanks to Thomas Gleixner for pointing out GCOV as the likely
culprit that added strange kernel accesses into the vread_tsc()
call.

vread_tsc is short and hot, and it's userspace code so the usual
reasons to enable -pg and turn off sibling calls don't apply.

(OK, turning off sibling calls has no effect.  But it might
someday...)

As an added benefit, tsc.c is profilable now.

<title>x86: only compile 8237A if CONFIG_ISA_DMA_API is enabled</title>

8237A utilizes the interface provided by CONFIG_ISA_DMA_API, specifically
claim_dma_lock() and release_dma_lock().  Thus, there's a strict
dependency on the config option and the module should only be loaded if
the kernel supports ISA-style DMA.

The isci driver needs to retrieve its preboot OROM image which contains
necessary runtime parameters like platform specific sas addresses and
phy configuration.  There is no ROM BAR associated with this area,
instead we will need to scan legacy expansion ROM space.

1/ Promote the probe_roms_32 implementation to x86-64
2/ Add a facility to find and map an adapter rom by pci device (according to
   PCI Firmware Specification Revision 3.0)

The extra tsc_sync.o goal definition is superflous.
CONFIG_X86_64_SMP depends on CONFIG_SMP

This patch adds minimal support for device tree on x86. The device
tree blob is passed to the kernel via setup_data which requires at
least boot protocol 2.09.

Memory size, restricted memory regions, boot arguments are gathered
the traditional way so things like cmd_line are just here to let the
code compile.

The current plan is use the device tree as an extension and to gather
information which can not be enumerated and would have to be hardcoded
otherwise. This includes things like 
   - which devices are on this I2C/SPI bus?
   - how are the interrupts wired to IO APIC?
   - where could my hpet be?
