The kernel decompressor wrapper uses memory located beyond the
end of the image. This might lead to hard to debug problems,
but even if it can be proven to be safe, it is at the very
least unclean. I don't see any advantages either, unless you
count it not being zeroed out as an advantage. This patch
moves the boot-heap area to the bss segment.

I've made a small investigation about vm86.h inclusion rules and it
looks like everything is more or less ok.
Files that rely on asm/vm86.h symbols are:
- kprobes.c
- process_32.c
- signal_32.c
- traps_32.c
- vm86_32.c
File process_32.c includes vm86.h explicitly. We can remove that
include and it won't break anything.

kgdb core fixes:

- Breakpoints should only be restored if they are in the BP_ACTIVE

x86 kgdb fixes:
- Fix the x86 arch handler such that on a kill or detach that the
appropriate cleanup on the single stepping flags gets run.
- Add in the DIE_NMIWATCHDOG call for x86_64
- Touch the nmi watchdog before returning the system to normal
operation after performing any kind of kgdb operation, else

Add HW breakpoints into the arch specific portion of x86 kgdb. In the
current x86 kernel.org kernels HW breakpoints are changed out in lazy
fashion because there is no infrastructure around changing them when
changing to a kernel task or entering the kernel mode via a system
call. This lazy approach means that if a user process uses HW
breakpoints the kgdb will loose out. This is an acceptable trade off
because the developer debugging the kernel is assumed to know what is
going on system wide and would be aware of this trade off.
There is a minor bug fix to the kgdb core so as to correctly call the
hw breakpoint functions with a valid value from the enum.
There is also a minor change to the x86_64 startup code when using
early HW breakpoints. When the debugger is connected, the cpu startup
code must not zero out the HW breakpoint registers or you cannot hit
the breakpoints you are interested in, in the first place.

This patch fixes the hang regression with kgdb when the NMI interrupt
comes in while the master core is returning from an exception.
Adjust the NMI logic such that KGDB will not stop NMI exceptions from
occurring by in general returning NOTIFY_DONE. It is not possible to
distinguish the debug NMI sync vs the normal NMI apic interrupt so
kgdb needs to catch the unknown NMI if it the debugger was previously
active on one of the cpus.

The shutdown status flag set to "0xA", corresponds to "JMP double word
request without INT init".
This JMP at reboot time is at an unintended location. And results in
Triple faults in our case.
Though this error at reboot can be safely ignored in a VM environment,
am not sure what the effect would be on a physical system. May be it
will result in a triple fault and an eventual hardware reset thus
masking this BUG in the kernel.
This fix just makes sure that we reset that status flag after
initialization is done.
Fix paranoia about using BIOS quickboot mechanism.
Make sure that we clear the "shutdown status flag" in the CMOS register
after each CPU is brought up. This fixes a problem where the "shutdown
status flag" may remain set when a CPU is brought up after booting.

the only variable that ends up in de data segment. It's also
superfluous, because the first thing the code does is:
if (RM_SCREEN_INFO.orig_video_mode == 7) {
vidmem = (char *) 0xb0000;
vidport = 0x3b4;
} else {
vidmem = (char *) 0xb8000;
vidport = 0x3d4;
}
