- Don't zero for __copy_from_user_inatomic following i386.
This will prevent spurious zeros for parallel file system writers when
one does a exception
- The string instruction version didn't zero the output on
exception. Oops.
Also I cleaned up the code a bit while I was at it and added a minor
optimization to the string instruction path.

Add unwind annotations to arch/x86_64/lib/*.S, and also use the macros
provided by linux/linkage.h where-ever possible.
Some of the alternative instructions handling needed to be adjusted so
that the replacement code would also have valid unwind information.

They cause quite bad performance regressions on Netburst
This is temporary until we can get new optimized functions
for these CPUs.
This undoes changes that were done in 2.6.15 and in 2.6.16-rc1,
essentially bringing the code back to 2.6.14 level. Only change
is I renamed the X86_FEATURE_K8_C flag to X86_FEATURE_REP_GOOD
and fixed the check for the flag and also fixed some comments.

- Remove optimization for old B stepping Opteron
- Make the fast path for copies with a multiple of eight length faster.
- Minor instruction rearrangement to hopefully avoid a pipeline
stall or two.
- Add comment about errata to consider.

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!
