Add 1GHz 64-bit Numachip2 clocksource timer support for accurate
system-wide timekeeping, as core TSCs are unsynchronised.
Additionally, add a per-core clockevent mechanism that interrupts via the
platform IPI vector after a programmed period.
[ tglx: Taking it through x86 due to dependencies ]

When sending IPIs, first check if the non-local part of the source and
destination APIC IDs match; if so, send via the local APIC for efficiency.
Secondly, since the AMD BIOS-kernel developer guide states IPI delivery
will occur invarient of prior deliver status, avoid polling the delivery
status bit for efficiency.

Introduce support for Numachip2 remote interrupts via detecting the right
ACPI SRAT signature.
Access is performed via a fixed mapping in the x86 physical address space.

Drop unused code and includes in Numachip header files and APIC driver.
Additionally, use the 'numachip1' prefix on Numachip1-specific functions;
this prepares for adding Numachip2 support in later patches.

Adds support for Numascale NumaChip large-SMP systems. It is
needed to enable the booting of more than ~168 cores.
v2:
- [Steffen] enumerate only accessible northbridges
- [Daniel] rediffed and validated against 3.1-rc10
v3:
- [Daniel] use x86_init core numbering override
- [Daniel] cleanups as per feedback
v4:
- [Daniel] use updated x86_cpuinit override
v5:
- drop disabling interrupts locally, as ISR write is atomic; drop delay
- added read-mostly annotations where appropriate
- require CONFIG_SMP, so drop conditional path
Workload tested on 96 cores/16 sockets.
