While cleaning up parisc_ksyms.c earlier, I noticed that strpbrk wasn't
being exported from lib/string.c. Investigating further, I noticed a
changeset that removed its export and added it to _ksyms.c on a few more
architectures. The justification was that "other arches do it."
I think this is wrong, since no architecture currently defines
__HAVE_ARCH_STRPBRK, there's no reason for any of them to be exporting it
themselves. Therefore, consolidate the export to lib/string.c.

Recent GDT changes broke the SMP boot sequence if the booting CPU is
numbered anything other than zero. There's also a subtle source of error
in that the boot time CPU now uses cpu_gdt_table (which is actually the GDT
for booting CPUs in head.S). This patch fixes both problems by making GDT
descriptors themselves allocated from a per_cpu area and switching to them
in cpu_init(), which now means that cpu_gdt_table is exclusively used for
booting CPUs again.

Make GDT page aligned and page padded to support running inside of a
hypervisor. This prevents false sharing of the GDT page with other hot
data, which is not allowed in Xen, and causes performance problems in
VMware.
Rather than go back to the old method of statically allocating the GDT
(which wastes unneded space for non-present CPUs), the GDT for APs is
allocated dynamically.

* EXPORT_SYMBOL's moved to other files
* #include <linux/config.h>, <linux/module.h> where needed
* #include's in i386_ksyms.c cleaned up
* After copy-paste, redundant due to Makefiles rules preprocessor directives
removed:
#ifdef CONFIG_FOO
EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo);
#endif
obj-$(CONFIG_FOO) += foo.o
* Tiny reformat to fit in 80 columns

In include/asm-x86_64/string.h there are such comments:
/* Use C out of line version for memcmp */
#define memcmp __builtin_memcmp
int memcmp(const void * cs,const void * ct,size_t count);
This would mean that if the compiler does not decide to use __builtin_memcmp,
it emits a call to memcmp to be satisfied by the C out-of-line version in
lib/string.c. What happens is that after preprocessing, in lib/string.i you
may find the definition of "__builtin_strcmp".
Actually, by accident, in the object you will find the definition of strcmp
and such (maybe a trick intended to redirect calls to __builtin_memcmp to the
default memcmp when the definition is not expanded); however, this particular
case is not a documented feature as far as I can see.
Also, the EXPORT_SYMBOL does not work, so it's duplicated in the arch.
I simply added some #undef to lib/string.c and removed the (now duplicated)
exports in x86-64 and UML/x86_64 subarchs (the second ones are introduced by
another patch I just posted for -mm).

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
