Bugzilla: 9868 & 10195.
There seems to be a bug into the SMM code that handles TCO Timeout SMI.
Andriy Gapon found that the code on his DG33TL system does the following:
> The handler is quite simple - it tests value in TCO1_CNT against 0x800, i.e.
> checks TCO_TMR_HLT. If the bit is set the handler goes into an infinite loop,
> apparently to allow the second timeout and reboot. Otherwise it simply clears
> TIMEOUT bit in TCO1_STS and that's it.
> So the logic seems to be reversed, because it is hard to see how TIMEOUT can
> get set to 1 and SMI generated when TCO_TMR_HLT is set (other than a
> transitional effect).
The only trick we have is to bypass the SMM code by turning of the generation
of the SMI#. The trick can only be enabled by setting the vendorsupport module
parameter to 911. This trick doesn't work well on laptop's.
Note: this is a dirty hack. Please handle with care. The only real fix is that
the bug in the SMM bios code get's fixed.

bugzilla: #12363
commit 7cd5b08be3 added a second regression:
some Dell's and Compaq's lockup on boot. So we revert most of the code.
The ICH9 reboot issue remains in place and will need some more fixing... :-(

Bugzilla #9868: On Intel motherboards with the ICH9 based I/O controllers
(Like DP35DP and DG33FB) the iTCO timer counts but it doesn't reboot the
system after the counter expires.
This patch fixes this by moving the enabling & disabling of the TCO_EN bit
in the SMI_EN register into the start and stop code.

* Convert files to UTF-8.
* Also correct some people's names
(one example is Eißfeldt, which was found in a source file.
Given that the author used an ß at all in a source file
indicates that the real name has in fact a 'ß' and not an 'ss',
which is commonly used as a substitute for 'ß' when limited to
7bit.)
* Correct town names (Goettingen -> Göttingen)
* Update Eberhard Mönkeberg's address (http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/1/8/313)
