Our prior mode of operation didn't allow nested interrupts
because it makes the interrupt code much simpler. However,
nested interrupts are better for latency.
This code uses the EIEM register to simulate level interrupts
and thus achieve nesting.

This version (relative to the current tree):
o eliminates "while (ticks_elapsed)" loop. It's not needed.
o drop "ticks_elapsed" completely from timer_interrupt().
o Estimates elapsed cycles (based on HZ) to see which kind of
math we want to use to calculate "cycles_remainder".
o Fixes a bug where we would loose a tick if we decided
we wanted to skip one interrupt.

It's just a bit easier to follow and timer code is complex enough.
So far, only tested on A500-5x (64-bit SMP), ie: gettimeoffset() code
hasn't been tested at all.

Use the __raw_spin_lock_flags routine so we can take an interrupt while
spinning. This re-fixes a bug jejb found on 2005-10-20:
CPU0 does a flush_tlb_all holding the vmlist_lock for write.
CPU1 tries a cat of /proc/meminfo which tries to acquire vmlist_lock for read
CPU1 is now spinning with interrupts disabled
CPU0 tries to execute a smp_call_function to flush the local tlb caches
This is now a deadlock because CPU1 is spinning with interrupts disabled and
can never receive the IPI

I couldn't find where the itimer was getting started for slave CPUs.
CPU 0 (master) itimer was started in time_init() (arch/parisc/kernel/time.c).
start_cpu_itimer() code was striped from time_init().
Slaves now start their itimer in smp_cpu_init().
This is a first step towards making gettimeoffset() work for SMP.
Next step will be to determine the CR16 (cycle counter)
offsets for each CPU relative to the master (CPU 0).

This patch fixes the pa8800 at a gross level (there are still other
subtle incoherency issues which can still cause crashes and HPMCs).
What it does is try to force eject inequivalent aliases before they
become visible to the L2 cache (which is where we get the incoherence
problems).
A new function (parisc_requires_coherency) is introduced in
asm/processor.h to identify the pa8x00 processors (8800 and 8900)
which have the issue.

It seems PA7200 processors also suppress traps on loads to
%r0. This means we can prefetch for read on these cpus. Of course,
we can't support prefetch for write, since that requires
LOAD DOUBLEWORD which was added with PA2.0

asm/processor.h on parisc wants spinlocks for cpuinfo, but
linux/spinlock_types.h needs lockdep, and lockdep wants prefetch.
This leads to a horrible circular dependancy, because <asm/processor.h>
is including something which depends on things which are not defined
until the end of the file.
Kludge around this by moving prefetch related code into <asm/prefetch.h>
and including it before <linux/spinlock_types.h>, however this is just
a temporary solution until this mess can be cleaned up.

This allows numaq to properly align cpus to their given node during
boot. Pass logical apicid to apicid_to_node and allow the summit
sub-arch to use physical apicid (hard_smp_processor_id()).
Tested against numaq and summit based systems with no issues.
