[CPUFREQ] CPU frequency display in /proc/cpuinfo

What is the value shown in "cpu MHz" of /proc/cpuinfo when CPUs are capable of
changing frequency?

Today the answer is: It depends.
On i386:
SMP kernel - It is always the boot frequency
UP kernel - Scales with the frequency change and shows that was last set.

On x86_64:
There is one single variable cpu_khz that gets written by all the CPUs. So,
the frequency set by last CPU will be seen on /proc/cpuinfo of all the
CPUs in the system. What you see also depends on whether you have constant_tsc
capable CPU or not.

On ia64:
It is always boot time frequency of a particular CPU that gets displayed.

The patch below changes this to:
Show the last known frequency of the particular CPU, when cpufreq is present. If
cpu doesnot support changing of frequency through cpufreq, then boot frequency
will be shown. The patch affects i386, x86_64 and ia64 architectures.

[PATCH] ia64: re-implement dma_get_cache_alignment to avoid EXPORT_SYMBOL

The current ia64 implementation of dma_get_cache_alignment does not work
for modules because it relies on a symbol which is not exported. Direct
access to a global is a little ugly anyway, so this patch re-implements
dma_get_cache_alignment in a manner similar to what is currently used for
x86_64.

[IA64] Use bitmaps for efficient context allocation/free

Corrects the very inefficent method of finding free context_ids in

2 bitmaps are used to efficently store and lookup state, inuse and
needs flushing. The entire rid address space is now used before calling
wrap_mmu_context and global tlb flushing.

Special thanks to Ken and Rohit for their review and modifications in
using a bit flushmap.

[IA64-SGI] pcdp: add PCDP pci interface support

Resend 2 with changes per Bjorn Helgaas comments. Changes from original:

+ Change globals to vga_console_iobase/vga_console_membase and make them
unconditional.
+ Address style-related comments.

Patch to extend the PCDP vga setup code to support PCI io/mem translations
for the legacy vga ioport and ram spaces on architectures (e.g. altix) which
need them.

Summary of the changes:

drivers/firmware/pcdp.c
drivers/firmware/pcdp.h
-----------------------
+ add declaration for the spec-defined PCI interface struct (pcdp_if_pci)
as well as support macros.

+ extend setup_vga_console() to know about pcdp_if_pci and add a couple of
globals to hold the io and mem translation offsets if present.

arch/ia64/kernel/setup.c
------------------------
+ tweek early_console_setup() to allow multiple early console setup routines
to be called.

include/asm-ia64/vga.h
----------------------
+ make VGA_MAP_MEM vga_console_membase aware
