[PATCH 0/15] Improve x86 smpboot integration

[Glauber Costa]

Ingo,

First of all, sorry for being away for so long ;-)

Here it goes a series of improvements for the x86 smpboot integration.
The final goal is the same: To reduce the difference between architectures,
just this time I do a little bit more ;-)

Basically, this one reduces greatly the ifdef count:

[root@t60 linux-2.6-x86]# git-show 674ce:arch/x86/kernel/smpboot.c \
			  | grep -e "^#ifdef \+CONFIG_X86_\(32\|64\)" | wc -l
18
[root@t60 linux-2.6-x86]# git-show HEAD:arch/x86/kernel/smpboot.c \
			  | grep -e "^#ifdef \+CONFIG_X86_\(32\|64\)" | wc -l
8

The remaining ones are _mainly_ (not all) due to the fact that x86_64 uses the pda,
while i386 goes with normal per-cpu data. They are things like:

per_cpu(current_task, cpu) = c_idle.idle; vs cpu_pda(cpu)->pcurrent = c_idle.idle;

Also, there is the low mappings piece of code Hugh detected. To that, I intend
to also find a common base between them. Just I'm not doing it in this series, because
it deserves special attention.

As usual, this series was compiled tested in a whole bunch of different configs ( ~ 10
for each architecture), including all i386 variants. Boot tested in all my hardware.

The final diffstat is:
