ia64 has not been supported by Xen since 4.2 so it's time to drop
Xen/ia64 from Linux as well.

<title>cputime: Generic on-demand virtual cputime accounting</title>

If we want to stop the tick further idle, we need to be
able to account the cputime without using the tick.

Virtual based cputime accounting solves that problem by
hooking into kernel/user boundaries.

However implementing CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING require
low level hooks and involves more overhead. But we already
have a generic context tracking subsystem that is required
for RCU needs by archs which plan to shut down the tick
outside idle.

This patch implements a generic virtual based cputime
accounting that relies on these generic kernel/user hooks.

There are some upsides of doing this:

- This requires no arch code to implement CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING
if context tracking is already built (already necessary for RCU in full
tickless mode).

- We can rely on the generic context tracking subsystem to dynamically
(de)activate the hooks, so that we can switch anytime between virtual
and tick based accounting. This way we don't have the overhead
of the virtual accounting when the tick is running periodically.

And one downside:

- There is probably more overhead than a native virtual based cputime
accounting. But this relies on hooks that are already set anyway.

The update of the vdso data happens under xtime_lock, so adding a
nested lock is pointless. Just use a seqcount to sync the readers.

This patch enables elf note based xen startup for IA-64, which gives the
kernel an early hint for running on xen like x86 case.
In order to avoid the multi entry point, presumably extending booting
protocol(i.e. extending struct ia64_boot_param) would be necessary.
It probably means that elilo also needs modification.

After moving the the include files there were a few clean-ups:

1) Some files used #include &lt;asm-ia64/xyz.h&gt;, changed to &lt;asm/xyz.h&gt;

2) Some comments alerted maintainers to look at various header files to
make matching updates if certain code were to be changed. Updated these
comments to use the new include paths.

3) Some header files mentioned their own names in initial comments. Just
deleted these self references.
