The current local APIC code refuses to enable the local APIC
on a P4 if the BIOS booted us with the local APIC disabled.
This patch removes this unnecessary restriction. Please apply.

Most P4 machines do boot with the local APIC enabled, but
Keith Owens reported that the P4 based Compaq Evo N800v
disables the local APIC, even though the machine actually
works if Linux enables it.

It is possible that some P4 machines with broken BIOSen
were saved by our refusal to enable the local APIC. We
can handle them via the DMI blacklist rules instead.

The old calculations BUGed on 64k PAGESIZE machines.

The amount of free space is calculated wrongly so
nfsv3 readdir replies are shorted than they could be.

Cleaning of the export caches is currently done by idle
nfsd threads which isn't very reliable.

This patch makes use of work_queues to do it all inside
cache.c

The /proc/net/rpc/*/content files now will show
entries that are still in the cache, but are either
expired or negative, as comment.

ip_map_show is enhance to work if called with a negative
or incomplete entry.

Also if cache debugging is enabled, the expiry time and
refcount of each entry will be included in a comment.

The sunrpc/cache.c caches which store nfsd export information
can be updated either "inplace" or by replacing the entry.

replacement is needed when an entry hold a reference to some
other object, so the reference counts work properly.

"inplace" can be used when no such references are held, and should be
used when the object could be refered to by another cache (as otherwise
the other cache would have to be updated whenever this one is).

Previously the type of update (inplace or replace) was specified
as an argument to the *_lookup operation.  This too easily lead to
inconsistancies.

With this patch, the update mode is specified when the cache is
declared.

..as the update might have set an expiry date in the past
and we want it to be removed instantly.

Having a 'continue' at the end of this look it pointless... it should
be a break.

- add buggy_uart parameter
- use detected Vcc values, not CIS Vcc values
- handle OxSemi OXCF950 ports

Remove the work queue for serial_remove; events always happen
in process context now so the work queue gains us nothing.

If one turns off SERIAL_8250, these items shouldn't be selectable.
Also gets the indentation right in `make oldconfig'.

- PCI API init style conversion for drivers/net/sk98lin/skge.c;
- new helpers: SkGeDev{Init/CleanUp};
- sk_devs_lock moved around as it's needed early.

Compiles without error. Untested.

... and also fix the embarrassing bug where NFTL and INFTL will
barf and exit if the add_mtd_blktrans_dev() function _exists_,
rather than actually calling it and barfing if it returns non-zero :)
