This patch adds macros for reading tsc via the RDTSCP instruction, as well
as writing the auxilliary MSR read by RDTSCP to msr.h
[AK: changed rdtscp definition for old binutils]

Ever since we remove msr.c from x86_64 branch and started grabbing it from
i386, msr device (read functionality) has been broken for us.
This is due to the differences between asm-i386/msr.h and asm-x86_64/msr.h interfaces.
Here is a patch to our side to fix this.
Thankfully, as of current (2.6.15-rc1-git6) tree, arch/i386/kernel/msr.c is the only file that uses rdmsr_safe macro.

I checked with AMD and they requested to only disable it for family 15.
Also disable it for i386 too. And some style fixes.

The only difference was the inline assembly, so move that into
asm/msr.h and merge with the i386 version.
This adds some missing sysfs support code to x86-64.

They should be identical in the kernel now, but this
makes it consistent with other code.

Harmless because the kernel didn't use it. Noticed by Travis Betak

This will allow hotplug CPU in the future and in general cleans up a lot of
crufty code. It also should plug some races that the old hackish way
introduces. Remove one old race workaround in NMI watchdog setup that is not
needed anymore.
I removed the old total sum of bogomips reporting code. The brag value of
BogoMips has been greatly devalued in the last years on the open market.
Real CPU hotplug will need some more work, but the infrastructure for it is
there now.
One drawback: the new TSC sync algorithm is less accurate than before. The
old way of zeroing TSCs is too intrusive to do later. Instead the TSC of the
BP is duplicated now, which is less accurate.
akpm:
- sync_tsc_bp_init seems to have the sense of `init' inverted.
- SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED is deprecated - use DEFINE_SPINLOCK.

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!
