Avoid section mismatch involving arch_register_cpu.
Marking arch_register_cpu as __init and removing the export
for non-hotplug-cpu configurations makes the following warning
go away:
Section mismatch in reference from the function
arch_register_cpu() to the function .devinit.text:register_cpu()
The function arch_register_cpu() references
the function __devinit register_cpu().
This is often because arch_register_cpu lacks a __devinit
annotation or the annotation of register_cpu is wrong.
The only external user of arch_register_cpu in the tree is
in drivers/acpi/processor_core.c where it is guarded by
ACPI_HOTPLUG_CPU (which depends on HOTPLUG_CPU).

WARNING: arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o(.exit.text+0x171): Section mismatch in reference from the function microcode_exit() to the variable .cpuinit.data:mc_cpu_notifier
In all three cases there were a function annotated __exit
that referenced a variable annotated __cpuinitdata.
The fix was to replace the annotation of the notifier
with __refdata to tell modpost that the reference to
a _cpuinit function in the notifier are OK.
The unregister call that references the notifier
variable will simple delete the function pointer
so there is no problem ignoring the reference.
Note: This looks like another case where __cpuinit
has been used as replacement for proper use
of CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU to decide what code are used for
HOTPLUG_CPU.

WARNING: o-x86_64/arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o(.text+0x17cd3): Section mismatch in reference from the function remove_cpu_from_maps() to the variable .cpuinit.data:cpu_initialized
remove_cpu:maps() had a single user: __cpu_disable() so
mark it static and annotate it with __ref to silence the
warning from modpost.
_cpu_disable() has a single user in kernel/cpu.c:
=> take_cpu_down()
which again has a single user in the following call:
=> __stop_machine_run(take_cpu_down, &tcd_param, cpu);
Here a kthread is created.
So maybe the warning is correct and the right fix is to
remove the __cpuinitdata annotation of cpu_initialized?

early_param which gets checked in arch/x86/kernel/setup_{32,64}.c:setup_arch()
to decide wether OHCI-1394 FireWire controllers should be initialized and
enabled for physical DMA access to allow remote debugging of early problems
like issues ACPI or other subsystems which are executed very early.
If the config option is not enabled, no code is changed, and if the boot
paramenter is not given, no new code is executed, and independent of that,
all new code is freed after boot, so the config option can be even enabled
in standard, non-debug kernels.
With specialized tools, it is then possible to get debugging information
from machines which have no serial ports (notebooks) such as the printk
buffer contents, or any data which can be referenced from global pointers,
if it is stored below the 4GB limit and even memory dumps of of the physical
RAM region below the 4GB limit can be taken without any cooperation from the
CPU of the host, so the machine can be crashed early, it does not matter.
In the extreme, even kernel debuggers can be accessed in this way. I wrote
a small kgdb module and an accompanying gdb stub for FireWire which allows
to gdb to talk to kgdb using remote remory reads and writes over FireWire.
An version of the gdb stub fore FireWire is able to read all global data
from a system which is running a a normal kernel without any kernel debugger,
without any interruption or support of the system's CPU. That way, e.g. the
task struct and so on can be read and even manipulated when the physical DMA
access is granted.
A HOWTO is included in this patch, in Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt
and I've put a copy online at

It also has links to all the tools which are available to make use of it

This patch fixes some bugs of EFI memory handing code.
- On x86_64, it is possible that EFI memory map can not be mapped via
identity map, so efi_map_memmap is removed, just use early_ioremap.
- On i386, the EFI memory map mapping take effect cross paging_init,
so it is not necessary to use efi_map_memmap.
- EFI memory map is unmapped in efi_enter_virtual_mode to avoid
early_ioremap leak.

This patch makes reboot_type of BOOT_EFI is used on i386 too. Because
correpsonding reboot code of i386 and x86_64 is merged.

Latest update; I now have 4 NX tests, but 2 fail so they're #if 0'd.
I also cleaned up the NX test code quite a bit, and got rid of the ugly
exception table sorting stuff.
From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com>
This patch adds testcases for the CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA configuration option
as well as the NX CPU feature/mappings. Both testcases can move to tests/
once that patch gets merged into mainline.
(I'm half considering moving the rodata test into mm/init.c but I'll
wait with that until init.c is unified)
As part of this I had to fix a not-quite-right alignment in the vmlinux.lds.h
for the RODATA sections, which lead to 1 page less being marked read only.

The set_memory_* and set_pages_* family of API's currently requires the
callers to do a global tlb flush after the function call; forgetting this is
a very nasty deathtrap. This patch moves the global tlb flush into
each of the callers

64bit uses end_pfn_map and 32bit uses max_low_pfn. There are several
files which have #ifdef'ed defines which map either to end_pfn_map or
max_low_pfn. Replace this by a universal define and clean up all the
other instances.
