<content type='text'>
commit e0d22d03c06c4e2c194d7010bc1e4a972199f156 upstream

The fdiv detection code writes s32 integer into
the boot_cpu_data.fdiv_bug.
However, the boot_cpu_data.fdiv_bug is only char (s8)
field so the detection overwrites already set fields for
other bugs, e.g. the f00f bug field.

Use local s32 variable to receive result.

This is a partial fix to Bugzilla #9928  - fixes wrong
information about the f00f bug (tested) and probably
for coma bug (I have no cpu to test this).

We handle a broken tsc these days, so no need to panic.  We clear the
TSC bit when tsc_init decides it's unreliable (eg.  under lguest w/ bad
host TSC), leading to bogus panic.

<title>remove mca-pentium</title>

This patch removes the mca-pentium boot option that was a noop.

besides the source code cleanup factor, this saves some text as well:

   arch/x86/kernel/cpu/bugs.o:
      text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
       651      77       4     732     2dc bugs.o.before
       631      53       4     688     2b0 bugs.o.after

Since the x86 merge, lots of files that referenced their own filenames
are no longer correct.  Rather than keep them up to date, just delete
them, as they add no real value.

Additionally:
- fix up comment formatting in scx200_32.c
- Remove a credit from myself in setup_64.c from a time when we had no SCM
- remove longwinded history from tsc_32.c which can be figured out from
  git.
