We already have a flag word to indicate the existence of MISC_ENABLES,
so use the same flag word to indicate existence of cr4 and EFER, and
always restore them if they exist. That way if something passes a
nonzero value when the value *should* be zero, we will still
initialize it.

%cr4 is supposed to reflect a set of features into which the operating
system is opting in. If the BIOS or bootloader leaks bits here, this
is not desirable. Consider a bootloader passing in %cr4.pae set to a
legacy paging kernel, for example -- it will not have any immediate
effect, but the kernel would crash when turning paging on.
A similar argument applies to %eflags, and since we have to look for
%eflags.id being settable we can use a sequence which clears %eflags
as a side effect.
Note that we already do this for x86-64.

This patch allows a dtb to be passed to a new kernel using the kexec
mechinism.
When loading segments from userspace, scan each segment's first four
bytes for the dtb magic. If this is found set the kexec_boot_atags
parameter to the relocate_kernel code to the phyical address of this
segment.

The current timer-based delay loop relies on the architected timer to
initiate the switch away from the polling-based implementation. This is
unfortunate for platforms without the architected timers but with a
suitable delay source (that is, constant frequency, always powered-up
and ticking as long as the CPUs are online).
This patch introduces a registration mechanism for the delay timer
(which provides an unconditional read_current_timer implementation) and
updates the architected timer code to use the new interface.

do_notify_resume() may be called on irq or exception
exit. But at that time the exception has already called
rcu_user_enter() and the irq has already called rcu_irq_exit().
Since it can use RCU read side critical section, we must call
rcu_user_exit() before doing anything there. Then we must call
back rcu_user_enter() after this function because we know we are
going to userspace from there.
This complete support for userspace RCU extended quiescent state
in x86-64.

We can have either shared kernel or jump label support, but not both.
If a kernel gets IPL'ed from an NSS it's not possible to patch the
text segment, since it's read-only.
Therefore any static branches cannot be updated. So we need to make
sure that shared kernel support is disabled if jump label support
is enabled.

The maximum nesting of the cpu topology is evaluated when /proc/sysinfo
is the first time read. This happens without a lock and a concurrent
reader on a different cpu can see and use an invalid intermediate value.
Besides the fact that this race is quite unlikely the worst thing that
could happen is that /proc/sysinfo would contain bogus information about
the machine's cpu topology.
Nevertheless this should be fixed. So move the detection code to the
early machine detection code and since now the value is early available
use it in the topology code as well.

The current proc implementation of the /proc/sysinfo file writes all
informations contained in all system information blocks to a single
page.
This is done by calling sprintf all the time in the expectation that
everything will fit into a single page. This however is not necessarily
true if the configuration of a machine is very large.
So convert /proc/sysinfo to avoid writing into random memory regions.

Change the default addressing mode so that user space runs in primary space
and the kernel runs in home space.
In addition remove the "switch_amode" kernel parameter so all users who
already specified they want the new default behaviour will stay in the
"switched" mode instead of in the opposite they intended.
If there is a need to switch addressing modes, this can be done with the
"user_mode" kernel parameter: user_mode=home

When a sigp instruction is issued it may store a status. This status is
currently stored in a per cpu field of the target cpu.
If multiple cpus issue a sigp instruction with the same target cpu
and a status is stored the result is not necessarily as expected.
Currently this is not an issue:
- on cpu hotplug no sigps, except "restart" and "sense" are sent to the
target cpu.
- on external call we don't look at the status if it is stored
- on sense running the condition code "status stored" is sufficient to
tell if a cpu is running or not
