cde227afe6 [PATCH] x86_64: inline function prefix with __always_inline in vsyscall
In vsyscall function do_vgettimeofday(), some functions are declared as
inlined, which is a hint for gcc to compile the function inlined but it
not forced.  Sometimes compiler does not compile the function as
inlined, so here inline is replaced by __always_inline prefix.

It does not happen in gcc compiler actually, but it possibly happens.

ba22f13563 [PATCH] x86_64: Remove CONFIG_UNORDERED_IO
It was a failed experiment - all benchmarks done with it on both AMD
and Intel showed it was a loss. That was probably because the store
buffers of the CPUs for write combining traffic weren't large enough.

f2d3efedbe [PATCH] x86_64: Implement early DMI scanning
There are more and more cases where we need to know DMI information
early to work around bugs.  i386 already had early DMI scanning, but
x86-64 didn't.  Implement this now.

This required some cleanup in the i386 code.

57f3ebccaa [PATCH] remove ISA legacy functions: remove the helpers
unused isa_...() helpers removed.

Adrian Bunk:
The asm-sh part was rediffed due to unrelated changes.

e992867445 [PATCH] x86_64: Generalize DMI and enable for x86-64
Some people need it now on 64bit so reuse the i386 code for
x86-64. This will be also useful for future bug workarounds.

It is a bit simplified there because there is no need
to do it very early on x86-64. This means it doesn't need
early ioremap et.al. We run it as a core initcall right now.

I hope it's not needed for early setup.

I added a general CONFIG_DMI symbol in case IA64 or someone
else wants to reuse the code later too.

9c0aa0f9a1 [PATCH] Replace extern inline with static inline in asm-x86_64/*
They should be identical in the kernel now, but this
makes it consistent with other code.

2b97690f4c [PATCH] reorganize x86-64 NUMA and DISCONTIGMEM config options
In order to use the alternative sparsemem implmentation for NUMA kernels,
we need to reorganize the config options.  This patch effectively abstracts
out the CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM options to CONFIG_NUMA in most cases.  Thus,
the discontigmem implementation may be employed as always, but the
sparsemem implementation may be used alternatively.

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!
