8b8e8c1bf7 x86: remove irqbalance in kernel for 32 bit
This has been deprecated for years, the user space irqbalanced utility
works better with numa, has configurable policies, etc...

69d45dd1c3 x86: merge winchip-2 and winchip-2a cpu choices
The Winchip-2 and Winchip-2A cpu choices select the
same options for kernel and compiler.

Merge them to save few bytes and reduce confusion.

5b7e41ff37 x86: additional defconfig updates
Additional updates to the x86 defconfigs.  The goals are, as before:

- Make them usable to testers, more so than distributors or end users,
  both of which are likely to have their own config already.
- Keep 32 and 64 bits as similar as is practical.

Changes:

- Use a more generic CPU type (ppro and generic, respectively).
- Bump number of CPUs to 64 (few if any NR_CPUS arrays left).
- Enable PAT.
- Enable OPTIMIZE_INLINE.
- Enable microcode update support.
- Build SMT scheduler support (in addition to MC).

a57a5c2e8d x86 setup: remove remnants of CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT (read: vga=)
Impact: cleanup

Video mode selection became always possible in 2.6.23-rc1 after i386 setup
code rewrite in C.

Regardless, VIDEO_SELECT is stupid config option because it affects only
kernel setup code, not code which always stays in memory.

vga= always possible now which is good.

c1b362e3b4 x86: update defconfigs
Enable some option commonly used by testers in defconfig, including
some very common device drivers and network boot support.  defconfig
is still not meant to be a kitchen-sink configuration.

d092633bff Subject: devmem, x86: fix rename of CONFIG_NONPROMISC_DEVMEM
From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@infradead.org>
Date: Sat, 19 Jul 2008 15:47:17 -0700

CONFIG_NONPROMISC_DEVMEM was a rather confusing name - but renaming it
to CONFIG_PROMISC_DEVMEM causes problems on architectures that do not
support this feature; this patch renames it to CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM,
so that architectures can opt-in into it.

( the polarity of the option is still the same as it was originally; it
  needs to be for now to not break architectures that don't have the
  infastructure yet to support this feature)

5cb04df8d3 x86: defconfig updates
refresh 32-bit defconfig too, and update the 64-bit configs as well,
the defconfig should be much more useful by default, so most of the
updates are the enabling of various options.

60a3cdd063 x86: add optimized inlining
add CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING=y.

allow gcc to optimize the kernel image's size by uninlining
functions that have been marked 'inline'. Previously gcc was
forced by Linux to always-inline these functions via a gcc
attribute:

 #define inline	inline __attribute__((always_inline))

Especially when the user has already selected
CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y this can make a huge difference in
kernel image size (using a standard Fedora .config):

   text    data     bss     dec           hex filename
   5613924  562708 3854336 10030968    990f78 vmlinux.before
   5486689  562708 3854336  9903733    971e75 vmlinux.after

that's a 2.3% text size reduction (!).

b263295dbf x86: 64-bit, make sparsemem vmemmap the only memory model
Use sparsemem as the only memory model for UP, SMP and NUMA.  Measurements
indicate that DISCONTIGMEM has a higher overhead than sparsemem.  And
FLATMEMs benefits are minimal.  So I think its best to simply standardize
on sparsemem.

Results of page allocator tests (test can be had via git from slab git
tree branch tests)

Measurements in cycle counts. 1000 allocations were performed and then the
average cycle count was calculated.

Order	FlatMem	Discontig	SparseMem
0	  639	  665		  641
1	  567	  647		  593
2	  679	  774		  692
3	  763	  967		  781
4	  961	 1501		  962
5	 1356	 2344		 1392
6	 2224	 3982		 2336
7	 4869	 7225		 5074
8	12500	14048		12732
9	27926	28223		28165
10	58578	58714		58682

(Note that FlatMem is an SMP config and the rest NUMA configurations)

Memory use:

SMP Sparsemem
-------------

Kernel size:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
3849268  397739 1264856 5511863  541ab7 vmlinux

             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:       8242252      41164    8201088          0        352      11512

Swap:      9775512          0    9775512

SMP Flatmem
-----------

Kernel size:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
3844612  397739 1264536 5506887  540747 vmlinux

So 4.5k growth in text size vs. FLATMEM.

             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:       8244052      40544    8203508          0        352      11484
-/+ buffers/cache:      28708    8215344

2k growth in overall memory use after boot.

NUMA discontig:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
3888124  470659 1276504 5635287  55fcd7 vmlinux

             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:       8256256      56908    8199348          0        352      11496
-/+ buffers/cache:      45060    8211196
Swap:      9775512          0    9775512

NUMA sparse:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
3896428  470659 1276824 5643911  561e87 vmlinux

8k text growth. Given that we fully inline virt_to_page and friends now
that is rather good.

             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:       8264720      57240    8207480          0        352      11516
-/+ buffers/cache:      45372    8219348
Swap:      9775512          0    9775512

The total available memory is increased by 8k.

This patch makes sparsemem the default and removes discontig and
flatmem support from x86.

2266cfd50d x86: move defconfig files for i386 and x86_64 to x86
With some small changes to kconfig makefile we can now
locate the defconfig files for i386 and x86_64 in
the configs/ subdirectory under x86.
make ARCH=i386 defconfig and make defconfig
works as expected also after this change.
But arch maintainers shall now update a defconfig file in
the configs/ directory.
