These are defined as static cpumask_var_t so if MAXSMP is not used,
they are cleared already.  Avoid surprises when MAXSMP is enabled.

The powernow-k8 driver checks to see that the Performance Control/Status
Registers are declared as FFH (functional fixed hardware) by the BIOS.
However, this check got broken in the commit:
 0e64a0c982c06a6b8f5e2a7f29eb108fdf257b2f
 [CPUFREQ] checkpatch cleanups for powernow-k8

Fix based on an original patch from Naga Chumbalkar.

<title>[CPUFREQ] powernow-k8: determine exact CPU frequency for HW Pstates</title>

Slightly modified by trenn@suse.de -&gt; only do this on fam 10h and fam 11h.

Currently powernow-k8 determines CPU frequency from ACPI PSS objects, but
according to AMD family 11h BKDG this frequency is just a rounded value:

  "CoreFreq (MHz) = The CPU COF specified by MSRC001_00[6B:64][CpuFid]
  rounded to the nearest 100 Mhz."

As a consequnce powernow-k8 reports wrong CPU frequency on some systems,
e.g. on Turion X2 Ultra:

  powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Turion(tm)X2 Ultra DualCore Mobile ZM-82
               processors (2 cpu cores) (version 2.20.00)
  powernow-k8:    0 : pstate 0 (2200 MHz)
  powernow-k8:    1 : pstate 1 (1100 MHz)
  powernow-k8:    2 : pstate 2 (600 MHz)

But this is wrong as frequency for Pstate2 is 550 MHz. x86info reports it
correctly:

  #x86info -a |grep Pstate
  ...
  Pstate-0: fid=e, did=0, vid=24 (2200MHz)
  Pstate-1: fid=e, did=1, vid=30 (1100MHz)
  Pstate-2: fid=e, did=2, vid=3c (550MHz) (current)

Solution is to determine the frequency directly from Pstate MSRs instead
of using rounded values from ACPI table.

Some atom procs don't do freq scaling (such as the atom 330 on my own
littlefalls2 board). By adding the atom family here, we at least get
the benefit of passive cooling in a thermal emergency. Not sure how
to see that its actually helping any, but the driver does bind and
claim its functioning on my atom 330.

<title>x86: Remove remap percpu allocator for the time being</title>

<content type='text'>
Remap percpu allocator has subtle bug when combined with page
attribute changing.  Remap percpu allocator aliases PMD pages for the
first chunk and as pageattr doesn't know about the alias it ends up
updating page attributes of the original mapping thus leaving the
alises in inconsistent state which might lead to subtle data
corruption.  Please read the following threads for more information:

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/835783

The following is the proposed fix which teaches pageattr about percpu
aliases.

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/837157

However, the above changes are deemed too pervasive for upstream
inclusion for 2.6.30 release, so this patch essentially disables
the remap allocator for the time being.
