3c2362e629 x86: use def_bool where possible
Change occurances of:
	bool
	default X

to:
	def_bool X

Change ocurances of:
	bool "Foo"
	default X

to:
	def_bool X
	prompt "Foo"

Shows no difference in generated config for allmodconfig/allyesconfig.

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

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

-/+ 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.

af65d64845 x86 vDSO: consolidate vdso32
This makes x86_64's ia32 emulation support share the sources used in the
32-bit kernel for the 32-bit vDSO and much of its setup code.

The 32-bit vDSO mapping now behaves the same on x86_64 as on native 32-bit.
The abi.syscall32 sysctl on x86_64 now takes the same values that
vm.vdso_enabled takes on the 32-bit kernel.  That is, 1 means a randomized
vDSO location, 2 means the fixed old address.  The CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO
option is now available to make this the default setting, the same meaning
it has for the 32-bit kernel.  (This does not affect the 64-bit vDSO.)

The argument vdso32=[012] can be used on both 32-bit and 64-bit kernels to
set this paramter at boot time.  The vdso=[012] argument still does this
same thing on the 32-bit kernel.

ee0011a798 x86: revert CONFIG_X86_HT semantics change
The recent Kconfig changes in x86 resulted in CONFIG_X86_HT no longer
being set if (X86_32 && MK8).

After grep'ing through the tree I think the problem is that different
places have different assumptions about the semantics of CONFIG_X86_HT,
either:

- hyperthreading or
- multicore

This should be sorted out properly, but until then we should keep the
2.6.23 status quo.

6840999b19 x86: simplify "make ARCH=x86" and fix kconfig all.config
Simplify "make ARCH=x86" and fix kconfig so we again can set 64BIT in
all.config.

For a fix the diffstat is nice:
 6 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 36 deletions(-)

The patch reverts these commits:
 - 0f855aa64b ("kconfig: add helper to set
   config symbol from environment variable")
 - 2a113281f5 ("kconfig: use $K64BIT to
   set 64BIT with all*config targets")

Roman Zippel pointed out that kconfig supported string compares so
the additional complexity introduced by the above two patches were
not needed.

With this patch we have following behaviour:

  # make {allno,allyes,allmod,rand}config [ARCH=...]
  option \ host arch      | 32bit         | 64bit
  =====================================================
  ./.                     | 32bit         | 64bit
  ARCH=x86                | 32bit         | 32bit
  ARCH=i386               | 32bit         | 32bit
  ARCH=x86_64             | 64bit         | 64bit

The general rule are that ARCH= and native architecture takes
precedence over the configuration.

So make ARCH=i386 [whatever] will always build a 32-bit kernel
no matter what the configuration says.  The configuration will
be updated to 32-bit if it was configured to 64-bit and the
other way around.

This behaviour is consistent with previous behaviour so no
suprises here.

make ARCH=x86 will per default result in a 32-bit kernel but as
the only ARCH= value x86 allow the user to select between 32-bit
and 64-bit using menuconfig.

daa93fab82 x86: enable "make ARCH=x86"
After unification of the Kconfig files and
introducing K64BIT support in kconfig
it required only trivial changes to enable
"make ARCH=x86".

With this patch you can build for x86_64 in several ways:
1) make ARCH=x86_64
2) make ARCH=x86 K64BIT=y
3) make ARCH=x86 menuconfig
   => select 64-bit

Likewise for i386 with the addition that
i386 is default is you say ARCH=x86.

e279b6c1d3 x86: start unification of arch/x86/Kconfig.*
This step introduces the file arch/x86/Kconfig
which contains all the menu's from "Power Management"
and below.

The main part of the new Kconfig file is shared
and the remaining i386/x86_64 specific symbols
are covered by dependencies.

A x86_64 allmodconfig build did not show any differences.
