1a8514e04e x86 setup: push video mode setup as late as possible
Push video mode setup as late as possible; messages issued through the
BIOS interface after video mode setup will either not be seen (for
framebuffer modes) or will screw up the cursor (for text modes.)

In particular, this makes the EDD probing message show up correctly.

e479c8306f x86 setup: be more verbose when probing EDD
On early boot, probing the Bios for EDD happens without any message.

Enhanced Disk Drive Services (EDD) is a mechanism to match x86 BIOS device
names (int13 device 80h) to Linux device names (e.g. /dev/sda, /dev/hda)

There are buggy Bios out there having problems with EDD. This can be problems
with the Bios itself or with addon cards, too.

This patch is adds an informational message on early boot.

CONFIG_EDD is not set with defconfig, but with allmodconfig (i.e. CONFIG_EDD=m)
so the EDD probe may be active on early boot on many systems nowadays.

I can tell, that the probe is active on SuSE distro and with that I have seen
more than one system hanging endlessly with those "black screen with a blinking
cursor in the the upper left" on installation, making it difficult for the end-
user to find out, what`s the issue.
For sure I have seen this on FujitsuSiemens PCs with i810 and with i815 chipset.

This one also honours the "quiet" bootparam.

32d0b98980 x86 setup: early cmdline parser handle boolean options
This patch extends the early commandline parser to support boolean options.
The current version in mainline only supports parsing "option=arg" value pairs.

With this it should be easy making other messages like "Uncompressing kernel"

c4d9ba6da9 x86 setup: make PM transition more paranoid; cleanup 32-bit entry
Make the transition to protected mode more paranoid by having
back-to-back near jump (to synchronize the 386/486 prefetch queue) and
far jump (to set up the code segment.)

While we're at it, zero as many registers as practical (for future
expandability of the 32-bit entry interface) and enter 32-bit mode
with a valid stack.  Note that the 32-bit code cannot rely on this
stack, or we'll break all other existing users of the 32-bit
entrypoint, but it may make debugging hacks easier to write.

f29192320f x86/pgtable: explain constant sign extension problem
When the _PAGE_FOO constants are defined as (1ul << _PAGE_BIT_FOO), they
become unsigned longs.  In 32-bit PAE mode, these end up being
implicitly cast to 64-bit types when used to manipulate a pte, and
because they're unsigned the top 32-bits are 0, destroying the upper
bits of the pte.

When _PAGE_FOO constants are given a signed integer type, the cast to
64-bits will sign-extend so that the upper bits are all ones,
preserving the upper pte bits in manipulations.

Explain this in a prominent place.

4891645e76 x86: unify paravirt pagetable accessors
Put all the defines for mapping pagetable operations to their native
versions (for the non-paravirt case) into one place.  Make the
corresponding changes to paravirt.h.

The tricky part here is that when a pagetable entry can't be updated
atomically (ie, 32-bit PAE), we need special handlers for pte_clear,
set_pte_atomic and set_pte_present.  However, the other two modes
don't need special handling for these, and can use a common
set_pte(_at) path.

bac4894dfa x86: make NUMA work on 32-bit again
On 32-bit NUMA, the memmap representing struct pages on each node is
allocated from node-local memory if possible. As only node-0 has memory from
ZONE_NORMAL, the memmap must be mapped into low memory. This is done by
reserving space in the Kernel Virtual Area (KVA) for the memmap belonging
to other nodes by taking pages from the end of ZONE_NORMAL and remapping
the other nodes memmap into those virtual addresses. The node boundaries
are then adjusted so that the region of pages is not used and it is marked
as reserved in the bootmem allocator.

This reserved portion of the KVA is PMD aligned althought
strictly speaking that requirement could be lifted (see thread at
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/24/220). The problem is that when aligned, there
may be a portion of ZONE_NORMAL at the end that is not used for memmap and
does not have an initialised memmap nor is it marked reserved in the bootmem
allocator. Later in the boot process, these pages are freed and a storm of
Bad page state messages result.

This patch marks these pages reserved that are wasted due to alignment
in the bootmem allocator so they are not accidently freed. It is worth
noting that memory from node-0 is wasted where it could have been put into
ZONE_HIGHMEM on NUMA machines. Worse, the KVA is always reserved from the
location of real memory even when there is plenty of spare virtual address
space.

This patch also makes sure that reserve_bootmem() is not called with a
0-length size in numa_kva_reserve().  When this happens, it usually means
that a kernel built for Summit is being booted on a normal machine. The
resulting BUG_ON() is misleading so it is caught here.

Unify arch/x86/kernel/acpi/sleep*.c

Pretty trivial unification; when two functions differed, it was
usually in error handling, and better of the two was picked up.
