Now that IRQ2 is never made available to the I/O APIC, there is no need
to special-case it and mask as a workaround for broken systems. Actually,
because of the former, mask_IO_APIC_irq(2) is a no-op already.

The problems are that, with the ACPI vs timer overring issue _fixed_,
after using the box for some time (between several seconds and 1 hour, at
random) processes get very high CPU loads (once I've got X using 107% of
the CPU, for example) and the system becomes unresponsive, as though there
were interrupts lost or something similar.

So lets fall back to the IRQ0/INT0 configuration on this box.
This basically restores the dont-use-the-lapic-timer exception mechanism
that was unconditional on this box prior commit 8750bf5 ("x86: add C1E
aware idle function").

UV supports really big systems. So big, in fact, that the APICID register
does not contain enough bits to contain an APICID that is unique across all
cpus.
The UV BIOS supports 3 APICID modes:
- legacy mode. This mode uses the old APIC mode where
APICID is in bits [31:24] of the APICID register.
- x2apic mode. This mode is whitebox-compatible. APICIDs
are unique across all cpus. Standard x2apic APIC operations
(Intel-defined) can be used for IPIs. The node identifier
fits within the Intel-defined portion of the APICID register.
- x2apic-uv mode. In this mode, the APICIDs on each node have
unique IDs, but IDs on different node are not unique. For example,
if each mode has 32 cpus, the APICIDs on each node might be
0 - 31. Every node has the same set of IDs.
The UV hub is used to route IPIs/interrupts to the correct node.
Traditional APIC operations WILL NOT WORK.
In x2apic-uv mode, the ACPI tables all contain a full unique ID (note:
exact bit layout still changing but the following is close):
nnnnnnnnnnlc0cch
n = unique node number
l = socket number on board
c = core
h = hyperthread
Only the "lc0cch" bits are written to the APICID register. The remaining bits are
supplied by having the get_apic_id() function "OR" the extra bits into the value
read from the APICID register. (Hmmm.. why not keep the ENTIRE APICID register
in per-cpu data....)
The x2apic-uv mode is recognized by the MADT table containing:
oem_id = "SGI"
oem_table_id = "UV-X"

Add functions that can be used to determine if an x86_64
system is a SGI "UV" system. UV systems come in 3 types and
are identified by the OEM ID in the MADT.
