Use HR-timers (when available) to deliver an accurate preemption tick.
The regular scheduler tick that runs at 1/HZ can be too coarse when nice
level are used. The fairness system will still keep the cpu utilisation 'fair'
by then delaying the task that got an excessive amount of CPU time but try to
minimize this by delivering preemption points spot-on.
The average frequency of this extra interrupt is sched_latency / nr_latency.
Which need not be higher than 1/HZ, its just that the distribution within the
sched_latency period is important.

If HPET was enabled by pci quirks, we use i8253 as initial clockevent
because pci quirks doesn't run until pci is initialized.
The above means the kernel (or something) is assuming HPET legacy
replacement is disabled and can use i8253 at boot.
If we used kexec, it isn't true. So, this patch disables HPET legacy
replacement for kexec in machine_shutdown().

Attempt to fix http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8378
Hiroto Shibuya wrote to tell me that he has a VIA EPIA-EK10000 which
suffers from the reboot problem when no keyboard is attached. My first
patch works for him:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=59f4e7d572980a521b7bdba74ab71b21f5995538
But the latest patch does not work for him :
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=8b93789808756bcc1e5c90c99f1b1ef52f839a51
We found that it was necessary to also set the "disable keyboard" flag in
the command byte, as the first patch was doing. The second patch tries to
minimally modify the command byte, but it is not enough.
Please consider this simple one-line patch to help people with low end VIA
motherboards reboot when no keyboard is attached. Hiroto Shibuya has
verified that this works for him (as I no longer have an afflicted
machine).
Additional discussion:
Note that original patch from Truxton DOES
disable keyboard and this has been in main tree since 2.6.14, thus it must have
quite a bit of air time already.
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.14.y.git;a=commit;h=59f4e7d572980a521b7bdba74ab71b21f5995538
Note that he only mention "System flag" in the description and comment, but
in the code, "disable keyboard" flag is set.
outb(0x14, 0x60); /* set "System flag" */
In 2.6.23, he made a change to read the current byte and then mask the flags,
but along this change, he only set the "System flag" and dropped the setting
of "disable keyboard" flag.
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.23.y.git;a=commit;h=8b93789808756bcc1e5c90c99f1b1ef52f839a51
outb(cmd | 0x04, 0x60); /* set "System flag" */
So my request is to restore the setting of disable keyboard flag which has been
there since 2.6.14 but disappeared in 2.6.23.

I missed an obvious one!
x86 CPUs are defined not to reorder stores past earlier loads, so there is
no hardware memory barrier required to implement a release-consistent store
(all stores are, by definition).
So ditch the generic lock bitops, and implement optimised versions for x86,
which removes the mfence from __clear_bit_unlock (which is already a useful
primitive for SLUB).

1) This allows us to get alot closer to booting bzImages.
2) It means we don't have to know page_offset.
3) The Guest needs to modify the boot pagetables to create the
PAGE_OFFSET mapping before jumping to C code.
4) guest_pa() walks the page tables rather than using page_offset.
5) We don't use page_offset to figure out whether to emulate: it was
always kinda quesationable, and won't work for instructions done
before remapping (bzImage unpacking in particular).
6) We still want the kernel address for tlb flushing: have the initial
hypercall give us that, too.
