We also need to fix sym53c8xx only to bind to the PCI ID if it is of
device class PCI_CLASS_STORAGE_SCSI (otherwise it will be the cpqarray
RAID device).

sas_smp_handler crashes when smp utils are used with an aic94xx host
because certain devices (the sas_host itself, specifically) lack rphy

The recent 9p commit: bd238fb4 that
supposedly only moved files also introduced a new 9p sysctl interface
that did not properly register it's sysctl binary numbers.

And since it was only for debugging clearly did not need a binary fast
path in any case.  So this patch just remove the binary numbers.

See Documentation/sysctl/ctl_unnumbered.txt for more details.

While I was at it I cleaned up the sysctl initializers a little as
well so there is less to read.

Due to index register access ordering problems, when using macros a line
like this fails (and does nothing):

	setCx86(CX86_CCR2, getCx86(CX86_CCR2) | 0x88);

With inlined functions this line will work as expected.

Note about a side effect: Seems on Geode GX1 based systems the
"suspend on halt power saving feature" was never enabled due to this
wrong macro expansion. With inlined functions it will be enabled, but
this will stop the TSC when the CPU runs into a HLT instruction.
Kernel output something like this:
	Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = -472746897 ns)

This is the 3rd version of this patch.

 - Adding missed arch/i386/kernel/cpu/mtrr/state.c
	Thanks to Andres Salomon
 - Adding some big fat comments into the new header file
