Randy Dunlap e63340ae6b header cleaning: don't include smp_lock.h when not used 
Remove includes of <linux/smp_lock.h> where it is not used/needed.
Suggested by Al Viro.

Builds cleanly on x86_64, i386, alpha, ia64, powerpc, sparc,
sparc64, and arm (all 59 defconfigs).

Jeremy Fitzhardinge e5e3a04289 [PATCH] i386: remove default_ldt, and simplify ldt-setting. 
This patch removes the default_ldt[] array, as it has been unused since
iBCS stopped being supported.  This means it is now possible to actually
set an empty LDT segment.

In order to deal with this, the set_ldt_desc/load_LDT pair has been
replaced with a single set_ldt() operation which is responsible for both
setting up the LDT descriptor in the GDT, and reloading the LDT register.
If there are no LDT entries, the LDT register is loaded with a NULL
descriptor.

Zachary Amsden f2f30ebca6 [PATCH] x86: introduce a write acessor for updating the current LDT 
Introduce a write acessor for updating the current LDT.  This is required
for hypervisors like Xen that do not allow LDT pages to be directly
written.

Testing - here's a fun little LDT test that can be trivially modified to
test limits as well.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2 
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!
