Add clockevent drivers for i386: lapic (local) and PIT/HPET (global).  Update
the timer IRQ to call into the PIT/HPET driver's event handler and the
lapic-timer IRQ to call into the lapic clockevent driver.  The assignement of
timer functionality is delegated to the core framework code and replaces the
compile and runtime evalution in do_timer_interrupt_hook()

Use the clockevents broadcast support and implement the lapic_broadcast
function for ACPI.

No changes to existing functionality.

5387373bfe sata_promise: new EH conversion for 20619 chips, take 2
This patch updates the sata_promise driver to use new-style
libata error handling for 20619 (TX4000) chips. sata_promise
already uses new EH for the other chips it supports, so the
patch is quite simple:

* remove ->phy_reset and ->eng_timeout ops from pdc_pata_ops,
  and instead bind ->freeze, ->thaw, ->error_handler, and
  ->post_internal_cmd to existing new EH functions
* drop ATA_FLAG_SRST from board_20619's flags
* remove now unused pdc_pata_phy_reset() and pdc_eng_timeout()

Tested on a TX4000 with both modern working disks and old/quirky
disks. Also used a CD-RW drive to test reading and writing CDs.

5f7748cf91 Execute AML Notify() requests on stack.
HP nx6125/nx6325/... machines have a _GPE handler with an infinite
loop sending Notify() events to different ACPI subsystems.

The notify handler in the ACPI thermal driver is a C-routine,
which may invoke the ACPI interpreter again to get access
to some ACPI variables such as temperature.  (acpi_evaluate_xxx)
On these HP machines such an evaluation changes state of an ASL variable
and lets the loop above break.

In the current ACPI implementation, Notify requests are being deferred
to the same kacpid workqueue on which the above GPE handler with
infinite loop is executing. Thus we have a deadlock -- loop will
continue to spin, sending notify events, and at the same time
preventing these notify events from being run on a workqueue. All
notify events are deferred, thus we see explosion in memory consumption.

Also as GPE handling is blocked, machines overheat because ACPI-based
fan control is stalled.  Eventually by external poll of the same
acpi_evaluate, kacpid is released and all the queued notify events are
free to run, thus 100% CPU utilization by kacpid for several seconds
or more.

To prevent this failure,  Linux must not send notify events to the
kacpid workqueue -- either executing them immediately or putting them
on some other thread.

The first attempt to create a new thread was done by Peter Wainwright
He created a bunch of threads, which were stealing work from a kacpid
workqueue.
This patch appeared in 2.6.15-based kernel shipped with Ubuntu 6.06 LTS.

Second attempt was done by Alexey Starikovskiy, who created a new thread
for each Notify event. This worked OK on HP nx machines,
but broke Linus' Compaq n620c, by producing threads with a speed what
they stopped the machine completely.
Thus this patch was reverted from 2.6.18-rc2.

Alexey re-made the patch to create second workqueue just for notify events,
thus hopping it will not break Linus' machine. Patch was tested on the
same HP nx machines in #5534 and #7122, but this broke Linus' machine
also and was reverted from 2.6.19-rc with much fanfair.

The 4th patch inserted schedule_timeout(1) into deferred
execution of kacpid, if we had any notify requests pending, but Linus
decided that it was too complex (involved either changes to workqueue
to see if it's empty or atomic inc/dec).  Then a 5th attempt did a
yield() to every GPE execution.

Finally, this 6th generation patch simply executes the notify handler
on the stack.  Previous attempts to do this simple solution failed
because of issues in AML mutex re-entrancy which are now fixed
by the previous patch in this series.

c0d127b569 ACPICA: fix AML mutex re-entrancy
ACPI AML supports "serialized" methods which are protected
by an implicit mutex.  The mutex is re-entrant for that AML thread
to allow recursion.

However, Linux implements notify() by creating a new AML thread.
So for systems where notify() re-enters a serialized method,
deadlock results.

The fix is to use the Linux thread_id as the key to allowing
re-entrancy, not the AML thread pointer.

0b4d414714 [PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctl
The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name.  Which is
pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.

I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
duplicate sysctl entries.

So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
enhancments harder.

7735362ac3 [PATCH] sysctl: remove sys_sysctl support from drivers/char/rtc.c
The real time clock driver was using the binary number reserved for cdroms in
the sysctl binary number interface, which is a no-no.  So since the sysctl
binary interface is wrong remove it.

22943364cf [PATCH] sysctl: remove sys_sysctl support from the hpet timer driver
In the binary sysctl interface the hpet driver was claiming to be the cdrom
driver.  This is a no-no so remove support for the binary interface.
