Commit 9ec4b1f356b3bad928ae8e2aa9caebfa737d52df made kprobes not compile
without module support, so just make that clear in the Kconfig file.

Also, since it's marked EXPERIMENTAL, make that dependency explicit too.

The change to kernel/sched.c's init code to use for_each_cpu()
requires that the cpu_possible_map be setup much earlier.

Set it up via setup_arch(), constrained to NR_CPUS, and later
constrain it to max_cpus in smp_prepare_cpus().

This fixes SMP booting on sparc64.

Commit 9c869edac591977314323a4eaad5f7633fca684f broke voyager again
rather subtly because it already had its own topology exporting
functions, so now each CPU gets registered twice.

I think we can actually use the generic ones, so I don't propose
reverting it.  The attached should eliminate the voyager topology
functions in favour of the generic ones.

I also added a define to ensure voyager is never hotplug CPU (we don't
have the support in the SMP harness).

The commit e2c0388866dc12bef56b178b958f9b778fe6c687 added
setup_additional_cpus to setup.c but this is only defined if
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is set.  This patch changes the #ifdef to reflect that.

RTC_IRQP_SET/RTC_EPOCH_SET don't take a pointer to an argument, but the
argument itself.  This actually simplifies the code and makes it work.

The previous experiment for using apicmaintimer on ATI systems didn't
work out very well.  In particular laptops with C2/C3 support often
don't let it tick during idle, which makes it useless.  There were also
some other bugs that made the apicmaintimer often not used at all.

I tried some other experiments - running timer over RTC and some other
things but they didn't really work well neither.

I rechecked the specs now and it turns out this simple change is
actually enough to avoid the double ticks on the ATI systems.  We just
turn off IRQ 0 in the 8254 and only route it directly using the IO-APIC.

I tested it on a few ATI systems and it worked there.  In fact it worked
on all chipsets (NVidia, Intel, AMD, ATI) I tried it on.

According to the ACPI spec routing should always work through the
IO-APIC so I think it's the correct thing to do anyways (and most of the
old gunk in check_timer should be thrown away for x86-64).

But for 2.6.16 it's best to do a fairly minimal change:
 - Use the known to be working everywhere-but-ATI IRQ0 both over 8254
   and IO-APIC setup everywhere
 - Except on ATI disable IRQ0 in the 8254
 - Remove the code to select apicmaintimer on ATI chipsets
 - Add some boot options to allow to override this (just paranoia)

In 2.6.17 I hope to switch the default over to this for everybody.

SMP time selection originally ran after all CPUs were brought up because
it needed to know the number of CPUs to decide if it needs an MP safe
timer or not.

This is not needed anymore because we know present CPUs early.

This fixes a couple of problems:
 - apicmaintimer didn't always work because it relied on state that was
   set up time_init_gtod too late.
 - The output for the used timer in early kernel log was misleading
   because time_init_gtod could actually change it later.  Now always
   print the final timer choice
