This prevents allocation of the last 2MB before 4GB.

The experiment described here shows Windows 7 ignoring the last 1MB:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23542#c27

This patch ignores the top 2MB instead of just 1MB because H. Peter Anvin
says "There will be ROM at the top of the 32-bit address space; it's a fact
of the architecture, and on at least older systems it was common to have a
shadow 1 MiB below."

Currently the number of CPUID leaves KVM handles is limited to 40.
My desktop machine (AthlonII) already has 35 and future CPUs will
expand this well beyond the limit. Extend the limit to 80 to make
room for future processors.

If the guest domain has been suspend/resumed or migrated, then the
system clock backing the pvclock clocksource may revert to a smaller
value (ie, can be non-monotonic across the migration/save-restore).

Make sure we zero last_value in that case so that the domain
continues to see clock updates.

<content type='text'>
When compiling arch/x86/kernel/early_printk_mrst.c with i386
allmodconfig, gcc-4.1.0 generates an out-of-line copy of
__set_fixmap_offset() which contains a reference to
__this_fixmap_does_not_exist which the compiler cannot elide.

Marking __set_fixmap_offset() as __always_inline prevents this.

This patch for SGI UV systems addresses a problem whereby
interrupt transactions being looped back from a local IOH,
through the hub to a local CPU can (erroneously) conflict with
IO port operations and other transactions.

To workaound this we set a high bit in the APIC IDs used for
interrupts. This bit appears to be ignored by the sockets, but
it avoids the conflict in the hub.
