Introduce GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT and GENERIC_FIND_NEXT_BIT in
lib/Kconfig, defaulting to off. An arch that wants to use the
generic implementation now only has to use a select statement
to include them.
I added an always-y option (X86_CPU) to arch/x86/Kconfig.cpu
and used that to select the generic search functions. This
way ARCH=um SUBARCH=i386 automatically picks up the change
too, and arch/um/Kconfig.i386 can therefore be simplified a
bit. ARCH=um SUBARCH=x86_64 does things differently, but
still compiles fine. It seems that a "def_bool y" always
wins over a "def_bool n"?

Some of those can be written in such a way that the same
inline assembly can be used to generate both 32 bit and
64 bit code.
For ffs and fls, x86_64 unconditionally used the cmov
instruction and i386 unconditionally used a conditional
branch over a mov instruction. In the current patch I
chose to select the version based on the availability
of the cmov instruction instead. A small detail here is
that x86_64 did not previously set CONFIG_X86_CMOV=y.
Improved comments for ffs, ffz, fls and variations.

It is claimed that NexGen CPUs were never shipped:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/20/179
Also, the kernel support for these chips has been broken for
a long time, the code intended to support NexGen thereby being
essentially dead.
As an outcome of the discussion that can be found using the URL
above, this patch removes the NexGen support altogether.
The changes in this patch survived a defconfig build for i386, a
couple of successful randconfig builds, as well as a runtime test,
which consisted in booting a 32-bit x86 box up to the shell prompt.

I've now noticed that the machine I call MPENTIUM4 for 32-bit kernels
is called MPSC for 64-bit kernels, and in that case it still doesn't
get the P6 NOPs it ought to. hpa explains that MK8 should still be
excluded, so it's just a matter of including MPSC along with MPENTIUM4.

P4 has been coming out as CPU_FAMILY=4 instead of 6: fix MPENTIUM4 typo.

P6_NOPs are definitely not supported on some VIA CPUs, and possibly
(unverified) on AMD K7s. It is also the only thing that prevents a
686 kernel from running on Transmeta TM3x00/5x00 (Crusoe) series.
The performance benefit over generic NOPs is very small, so when
building for generic consumption, avoid using them.

The P6 family of NOPs are only available on family >= 6 or above, so
enforce that in the boot code.

CONFIG_X86_PPRO_FENCE bloats text:

text data bss dec hex text ratio
vanilla: 163082 20372 40120 223574 36956 100.00%
bugfix : 163509 20372 40120 224001 36b01 0.26%
noppro : 162191 20372 40120 222683 365db - 0.55%
both : 162267 20372 40120 222759 36627 - 0.50% (+0.05% vs noppro)
So with the ppro memory ordering bug out of the way, the PG_uptodate fix
only adds 76 bytes of text.
allow this config to be specified by distros.

This adds the (internal) Kconfig macro CONFIG_X86_DEBUGCTLMSR,
to be defined when configuring to support only hardware that
definitely supports MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR with the BTF flag.
The Intel documentation says "P6 family" and later processors all have it.
I think the Kconfig dependencies are right to have it set for those and
unset for others (i.e., when 586 and earlier are supported).

Move all CPU definitions to Kconfig.cpu
Always define X86_MINIMUM_CPU_FAMILY and do the
obvious code cleanup in boot/cpucheck.c

After a small change in kconfig Makefile we could
move all x86 Kconfig files to x86 directory.
