Disable preemption in init_ibs(). The function only checks the
ibs capabilities and sets up pci devices (if necessary). It runs
only on one cpu but operates with the local APIC and some MSRs,
thus it is better to disable preemption.

  KVM: i8259: initialize isr_ack
  KVM: MMU: Fix incorrect direct gfn for unpaged mode shadow

isr_ack is never initialized.  So, until the first PIC reset, interrupts
may fail to be injected.  This can cause Windows XP to fail to boot, as
reported in the fallout from the fix to
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21962.

We use the physical address instead of the base gfn for the four
PAE page directories we use in unpaged mode.  When the guest accesses
an address above 1GB that is backed by a large host page, a BUG_ON()
in kvm_mmu_set_gfn() triggers.

In arch/x86/kernel/microcode_intel.c::generic_load_microcode()
we have  this:

	while (leftover) {
		...
		if (get_ucode_data(mc, ucode_ptr, mc_size) ||
		    microcode_sanity_check(mc) < 0) {
			vfree(mc);
			break;
		}
		...
	}

	if (mc)
		vfree(mc);

This will cause a double free of 'mc'. This patch fixes that by
just  removing the vfree() call in the loop since 'mc' will be
freed nicely just  after we break out of the loop.

There's also a second change in the patch. I noticed a lot of
checks for  pointers being NULL before passing them to vfree().
That's completely  redundant since vfree() deals gracefully with
being passed a NULL pointer.  Removing the redundant checks
yields a nice size decrease for the object  file.

Size before the patch:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   4578     240    1032    5850    16da arch/x86/kernel/microcode_intel.o
Size after the patch:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   4489     240     984    5713    1651 arch/x86/kernel/microcode_intel.o

Keep the crash kernel address below 512 MiB for 32 bits and 896 MiB
for 64 bits.  For 32 bits, this retains compatibility with earlier
kernel releases, and makes it work even if the vmalloc= setting is
adjusted.

For 64 bits, we should be able to increase this substantially once a
hard-coded limit in kexec-tools is fixed.

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."
