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.

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.

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.

Currently the kernel audit system represents arch's as numbers and will
gladly accept comparisons between archs using >, <, >=, <= when the only
thing that makes sense is = or !=. I'm told that the next revision of
auditctl will do this checking but this will provide enforcement in the
kernel even for old userspace. A simple command to show the issue would
be to run
auditctl -d entry,always -F arch>i686 -S chmod
with this patch the kernel will reject this with -EINVAL

More than a little bit ugly, storing integers in void*, but at least the
code is correct, unlike some of the more crufty Linux kernel code found
elsewhere.
Rather than having two casts to massage the value into u32, it's easier
just to have a single cast and use "%lu", since it's just a printk.
