1a75a3f068 [PATCH] i386 kdump timer vector lockup fix
Porting the patch I posted for x86_64 to i386.

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=114178139610707&w=2

o While using kdump, after a system crash when second kernel boots, timer
  vector gets (0x31) locked and CPU does not see timer interrupts
  travelling from IOAPIC to APIC.  Currently it does not lead to boot
  failure in second kernel as timer interrupts continues to come as ExtInt
  through LAPIC directly, but fixing it is good in case some boards do not
  support the other mode.

o After a system crash, it is not safe to service interrupts any more,
  hence interrupts are disabled.  This leads to pending interrupts at
  LAPIC.  LAPIC sends these interrupts to the CPU during early boot of
  second kernel.  Other pending interrupts are discarded saying unexpected
  trap but timer interrupt is serviced and CPU does not issue an LAPIC EOI
  because it think this interrupt came from i8259 and sends ack to 8259.
  This leads to vector 0x31 locking as LAPIC does not clear respective ISR
  and keeps on waiting for EOI.

o This patch issues extra EOI for the pending interrupts who have ISR set.

o Though today only timer seems to be the special case because in early
  boot it thinks interrupts are coming from i8259 and uses
  mask_and_ack_8259A() as ack handler and does not issue LAPIC EOI.  But
  probably doing it in generic manner for all vectors makes sense.

911a62d423 [PATCH] x86: sutomatically enable bigsmp when we have more than 8 CPUs
i386 generic subarchitecture requires explicit dmi strings or command line
to enable bigsmp mode.  The patch below removes that restriction, and uses
bigsmp as soon as it finds more than 8 logical CPUs, Intel processors and
xAPIC support.

650927ef8a [PATCH] kexec: x86: resture apic virtual wire mode on shutdown
When coming out of apic mode attempt to set the appropriate
apic back into virtual wire mode.  This improves on previous versions
of this patch by by never setting bot the local apic and the ioapic
into veritual wire mode.

This code looks at data from the mptable to see if an ioapic has
an ExtInt input to make this decision.  A future improvement
is to figure out which apic or ioapic was in virtual wire mode
at boot time and to remember it.  That is potentially a more accurate
method, of selecting which apic to place in virutal wire mode.

8f43d03fe2 [PATCH] kexec: x86: rename APIC_MODE_EXINT
From: "Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@linux-mips.org>

Rename APIC_MODE_EXINT to APIC_MODE_EXTINT - I think it should be named
after what the mode is called in documentation.

From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@lnxi.com>

I have reduced this patch to just the name change in the header.  And
integrated the changes into the patches that add those
lines. Otherwise I ran into some ugly dependencies.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
