System topology on intel based system needs to be exported
for non-numa case as well.

All parts of asm-i386/topology.h has come under
#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA after the merge to asm-x86/topology.h

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu?/topology/* is populated based on
ENABLE_TOPO_DEFINES

The sysfs cpu topology is not being populated on my dual socket
dual core xeon 5160 processor based (x86 32 bit) system.

CONFIG_NUMA is not set in my case yet the topology is relevant
and useful.

irqbalance daemon application depends on topology to build the
cpus and package list and it fails on Fedora9 beta since the
sysfs topology was not being populated in the 2.6.25 kernel.

I am not sure if it was intentional to not define ENABLE_TOPO_DEFINES
for non-numa systems.

This fix has been tested on the above mentioned dual core, dual socket
system.

709f744 causes my computer to freeze during the start up of X and my
login manger (GDM). It gets to the point where it has shown the default
X mouse cursor logo (a big X / cross) and does not respond to anything
from that point on.

This worked fine before 709f744, and it works fine with ﻿709f744
reverted on top of Linus' current tree (f74d505). The revert had
conflicts, as far as I can tell due to white space changes. The diff I
ended up with is below.

It is 100% reproducible.

If the task never used fpu, initialize the fpu before restoring the FP
state from the signal handler context. This will allocate the fpu
state, if the task never needed it before.

Move the scattered checks for PAT support to a single function. Its
moved to addon_cpuid_features.c as this file is shared between 32 and
64 bit.

Remove the manipulation of the PAT feature bit and just disable PAT in
the PAT layer, based on the PAT bit provided by the CPU and the
current CPU version/model white list.

Change the boot CPU check so it works on Voyager somewhere in the
future as well :) Also panic, when a secondary has PAT disabled but
the primary one has alrady switched to PAT. We have no way to undo
that.

The white list is kept for now to ensure that we can rely on known to
work CPU types and concentrate on the software induced problems
instead of fighthing CPU erratas and subtle wreckage caused by not yet
verified CPUs. Once the PAT code has stabilized enough, we can remove
the white list and open the can of worms.

This moves geode_has_vsa2 into a .c file, caches the result we get from

<content type='text'>
Fix warning from pmd_bad() at bootup on a HIGHMEM64G HIGHPTE x86_32.

That came from 9fc34113f6880b215cbea4e7017fc818700384c2 x86: debug pmd_bad();
but we understand now that the typecasting was wrong for PAE in the previous
version: pagetable pages above 4GB looked bad and stopped Arjan from booting.

And revert that cded932b75ab0a5f9181ee3da34a0a488d1a14fd x86: fix pmd_bad
and pud_bad to support huge pages.  It was the wrong way round: we shouldn't
weaken every pmd_bad and pud_bad check to let huge pages slip through - in
part they check that we _don't_ have a huge page where it's not expected.

Put the x86 pmd_bad() and pud_bad() definitions back to what they have long
been: they can be improved (x86_32 should use PTE_MASK, to stop PAE thinking
junk in the upper word is good; and x86_64 should follow x86_32's stricter
comparison, to stop thinking any subset of required bits is good); but that
should be a later patch.

Fix Hans' good observation that follow_page() will never find pmd_huge()
because that would have already failed the pmd_bad test: test pmd_huge in
between the pmd_none and pmd_bad tests.  Tighten x86's pmd_huge() check?
No, once it's a hugepage entry, it can get quite far from a good pmd: for
example, PROT_NONE leaves it with only ACCESSED of the KERN_PGTABLE bits.

However... though follow_page() contains this and another test for huge
pages, so it's nice to keep it working on them, where does it actually get
called on a huge page?  get_user_pages() checks is_vm_hugetlb_page(vma) to
to call alternative hugetlb processing, as does unmap_vmas() and others.
