clocksource: apb: Share APB timer code with other platforms

virtio has been so far used only in the context of virtualization,
and the virtio Kconfig was sourced directly by the relevant arch
Kconfigs when VIRTUALIZATION was selected.
Now that we start using virtio for inter-processor communications,
we need to source the virtio Kconfig outside of the virtualization
scope too.
Moreover, some architectures might use virtio for both virtualization
and inter-processor communications, so directly sourcing virtio
might yield unexpected results due to conflicting selections.
The simple solution offered by this patch is to always source virtio's
Kconfig in drivers/Kconfig, and remove it from the appropriate arch
Kconfigs. Additionally, a virtio menu entry has been added so virtio
drivers don't show up in the general drivers menu.
This way anyone can use virtio, though it's arguably less accessible
(and neat!) for virtualization users now.
Note: some architectures (mips and sh) seem to have a VIRTUALIZATION
menu merely for sourcing virtio's Kconfig, so that menu is removed too.

The Host used to create some page tables for the Guest to use at the
top of Guest memory; it would then tell the Guest where this was. In
particular, it created linear mappings for 0 and 0xC0000000 addresses
because lguest used to switch to its real page tables quite late in
boot.
However, since d50d8fe19 Linux initialized boot page tables in
head_32.S even before the "are we lguest?" boot jump. So, now we can
simplify things: the Host pagetable code assumes 1:1 linear mapping
until it first calls the LHCALL_NEW_PGTABLE hypercall, which we now do
before we reach C code.
This also means that the Host doesn't need to know anything about the
Guest's PAGE_OFFSET. (Non-Linux guests might not even have such a
thing).

Rebooting on the Dell E5420 often hangs with the keyboard or ACPI
methods, but is reliable via the PCI method.
[ hpa: this was deferred because we believed for a long time that the
recent reshuffling of the boot priorities in commit
660e34cebf0a11d54f2d5dd8838607452355f321 fixed this platform.
Unfortunately that turned out to be incorrect. ]

The EFI specification requires that callers of the time related
runtime functions serialize with other CMOS accesses in the
kernel, as the EFI time functions may choose to also use the
legacy CMOS RTC.
Besides fixing a latent bug, this is a prerequisite to safely
enable the rtc-efi driver for x86, which ought to be preferred
over rtc-cmos on all EFI platforms.

With CPU hotplug, there is a theoretical race between other CMOS
(namely RTC) accesses and those done in the SMP secondary
processor bringup path.
I am unware of the problem having been noticed by anyone in practice,
but it would very likely be rather spurious and very hard to reproduce.
So to be on the safe side, acquire rtc_lock around those accesses.

With the write lock path simply subtracting RW_LOCK_BIAS there
is, on large systems, the theoretical possibility of overflowing
the 32-bit value that was used so far (namely if 128 or more
CPUs manage to do the subtraction, but don't get to do the
inverse addition in the failure path quickly enough).
A first measure is to modify RW_LOCK_BIAS itself - with the new
value chosen, it is good for up to 2048 CPUs each allowed to
nest over 2048 times on the read path without causing an issue.
Quite possibly it would even be sufficient to adjust the bias a
little further, assuming that allowing for significantly less
nesting would suffice.
However, as the original value chosen allowed for even more
nesting levels, to support more than 2048 CPUs (possible
currently only for 64-bit kernels) the lock itself gets widened
to 64 bits.

Rather than having two functionally identical implementations
for 32- and 64-bit configurations, use the previously extended
assembly abstractions to fold the rwsem two implementations into
a shared one.

Fix the printk_once() so that it actually prints (didn't print before
due to a stray comma.)

handle_signal()->set_fs() has a nice comment which explains what
set_fs() is, but it doesn't explain why it is needed and why it
depends on CONFIG_X86_64.
Afaics, the history of this confusion is:
1. I guess today nobody can explain why it was needed
in arch/i386/kernel/signal.c, perhaps it was always
wrong. This predates 2.4.0 kernel.
2. then it was copy-and-past'ed to the new x86_64 arch.
3. then it was removed from i386 (but not from x86_64)
by b93b6ca3 "i386: remove unnecessary code".
4. then it was reintroduced under CONFIG_X86_64 when x86
unified i386 and x86_64, because the patch above didn't
touch x86_64.
Remove it. ->addr_limit should be correct. Even if it was possible
that it is wrong, it is too late to fix it after setup_rt_frame().
Linus commented in:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.LFD.0.999.0707170902570.19166@woody.linux-foundation.org
... about the equivalent bit from i386:
Heh. I think it's entirely historical.
Please realize that the whole reason that function is called "set_fs()" is
that it literally used to set the %fs segment register, not
"->addr_limit".
So I think the "set_fs(USER_DS)" is there _only_ to match the other
regs->xds = __USER_DS;
regs->xes = __USER_DS;
regs->xss = __USER_DS;
regs->xcs = __USER_CS;
things, and never mattered. And now it matters even less, and has been
copied to all other architectures where it is just totally insane.

1. do_signal() looks at TS_RESTORE_SIGMASK and calculates the
mask which should be stored in the signal frame, then it
passes "oldset" to the callees, down to setup_rt_frame().
This is ugly, setup_rt_frame() can do this itself and nobody
else needs this sigset_t. Move this code into setup_rt_frame.
2. do_signal() also clears TS_RESTORE_SIGMASK if handle_signal()
succeeds.
We can move this to setup_rt_frame() as well, this avoids the
unnecessary checks and makes the logic more clear.
3. use set_current_blocked() instead of sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK),
sigprocmask() should be avoided.

sys_sigsuspend() and sys_sigreturn() change ->blocked directly.
This is not correct, see the changelog in e6fa16ab
"signal: sigprocmask() should do retarget_shared_pending()"
Change them to use set_current_blocked().
