847cdf42d5 powerpc/mpc5200: fix bestcomm Kconfig dependencies
Without this patch it is possible to select drivers which require
bestcomm support without bestcomm support being selected.  This
patch reworks the bestcomm dependencies to ensure the correct
bestcomm tasks are always enabled.

32836259ff ACPI: pci_link: remove acpi_irq_balance_set() interface
This removes the acpi_irq_balance_set() interface from the PCI
interrupt link driver.

x86 used acpi_irq_balance_set() to tell the PCI interrupt link
driver to configure links to minimize IRQ sharing.  But the link
driver can easily figure out whether to turn on IRQ balancing
based on the IRQ model (PIC/IOAPIC/etc), so we can get rid of
that external interface.

It's better for the driver to figure this out at init-time.  If
we set it externally via the x86 code, the interface reduces
modularity, and we depend on the fact that acpi_process_madt()
happens before we process the kernel command line.

928d4bf747 KVM: VMX: Set IGMT bit in EPT entry
There is a potential issue that, when guest using pagetable without vmexit when
EPT enabled, guest would use PAT/PCD/PWT bits to index PAT msr for it's memory,
which would be inconsistent with host side and would cause host MCE due to
inconsistent cache attribute.

The patch set IGMT bit in EPT entry to ignore guest PAT and use WB as default
memory type to protect host (notice that all memory mapped by KVM should be WB).

worth the effort, because CONFIG_NUMA was generally broken on 32-bit

7cbaef9c83 sched: optimize sched_clock() a bit
sched_clock() uses cycles_2_ns() needlessly - which is an irq-disabling
variant of __cycles_2_ns().

Most of the time sched_clock() is called with irqs disabled already.
The few places that call it with irqs enabled need to be updated.

0d12cdd5f8 sched: improve sched_clock() performance
in scheduler-intense workloads native_read_tsc() overhead accounts for
20% of the system overhead:

 659567 system_call                              41222.9375
 686796 schedule                                 435.7843
 718382 __switch_to                              665.1685
 823875 switch_mm                                4526.7857
 1883122 native_read_tsc                          55385.9412
 9761990 total                                      2.8468

this is large part due to the rdtsc_barrier() that is done before
and after reading the TSC.

But sched_clock() is not a precise clock in the GTOD sense, using such
barriers is completely pointless. So remove the barriers and only use
them in vget_cycles().

This improves lat_ctx performance by about 5%.

17c1f07ed7 [IA64] Reserve elfcorehdr memory in CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP
IA64 kdump kernel failed to initialize /proc/vmcore in 2.6.28-rc2.
A bug was introduced in this patch commit:

  d9a9855d0b
  always reserve elfcore header memory in crash kernel

The problem was that the call to reserve_elfcorehdr() should be placed
in CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP rather than in CONFIG_CRASH_KERNEL, which does
not exist.
