d3561b7fa0 [PATCH] paravirt: header and stubs for paravirtualisation
Create a paravirt.h header for all the critical operations which need to be
replaced with hypervisor calls, and include that instead of defining native
operations, when CONFIG_PARAVIRT.

This patch does the dumbest possible replacement of paravirtualized
instructions: calls through a "paravirt_ops" structure.  Currently these are
function implementations of native hardware: hypervisors will override the ops
structure with their own variants.

All the pv-ops functions are declared "fastcall" so that a specific
register-based ABI is used, to make inlining assember easier.

And:

+From: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org>

The paravirt ops introduce a 'weak' attribute onto memory_setup().
Code ordering leads to the following warnings on x86:

    arch/i386/kernel/setup.c:651: warning: weak declaration of
                `memory_setup' after first use results in unspecified behavior

Move memory_setup() to avoid this.

e6536c1262 [PATCH] x86: comment magic constants in delay.h
For both i386 and x86_64, copy from arch/$ARCH/lib/delay.c comments about the
used magic constants, plus a few other niceties.

6f84fa2f3e [PATCH] Time: i386 Conversion - part 3: Enable Generic Timekeeping
This converts the i386 arch to use the generic timeofday subsystem.  It
enabled the GENERIC_TIME option, disables the timer_opts code and other arch
specific timekeeping code and reworks the delay code.

While this patch enables the generic timekeeping, please note that this patch
does not provide any i386 clocksource.  Thus only the jiffies clocksource will
be available.  To get full replacements for the code being disabled here, the
timeofday-clocks-i386 patch will needed.

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!
