Exception stacks are allocated each time a CPU is set online.
But the allocated space is never freed. Thus with one CPU hotplug
offline/online cycle there is a memory leak of 24K (6 pages) for
a CPU.
Fix is to allocate exception stacks only once -- when the CPU is
set online for the first time.

pda->irqstackptr is allocated whenever a CPU is set online.
But it is never freed. This results in a memory leak of 16K
for each CPU offline/online cycle.
Fix is to allocate pda->irqstackptr only once.

The long noops ("NOPL") are supposed to be detected by family >= 6.
Unfortunately, several non-Intel x86 implementations, both hardware
and software, don't obey this dictum. Instead, probe for NOPL
directly by executing a NOPL instruction and see if we get #UD.

... so don't need to call clear_cpu_cap again in early_identify_cpu,
and could use cleared_cpu_caps like other places.

AMD only supports "syscall" from 32-bit compat usermode.
Intel and Centaur(?) only support "sysenter" from 32-bit compat usermode.
Set the X86 feature bits accordingly, and set up the vdso in
accordance with those bits. On the offchance we run on in a 64-bit
environment which supports neither syscall nor sysenter from 32-bit
mode, then fall back to the int $0x80 vdso.

Update arch/x86's use of page-aligned variables. The change to
arch/x86/xen/mmu.c fixes an actual bug, but the rest are cleanups
and to set a precedent.

Add pseudo-feature bits to describe whether the CPU supports sysenter
and/or syscall from ia32-compat userspace. This removes a hardcoded
test in vdso32-setup.

This removes a pile of buggy open-coded implementations of savesegment
and loadsegment.
(They are buggy because they don't have memory barriers to prevent
them from being reordered with respect to memory accesses.)
