this_cpu_xor() will be removed tree wide during the next merge window.
To avoid merge conflicts s390's removal comes via the s390 tree.

Optimize this_cpu_* functions for 64 bit by making use of new instructions
that came with the interlocked-access facility 1 (load-and-*) and the
general-instructions-extension facility (asi, agsi).
That way we get rid of the compare-and-swap loop in most cases.
Code size reduction (defconfig, -march=z196): 11,555 bytes.

Remove the special cases for the this_cpu_* functions for 32 bit
in order to make it easier to add additional code for 64 bit.
32 bit will use the generic implementation.

The generic variant has a local_irq_save/restore pair which is quite
expensive. It is sufficient to disable preemption, which is a no-op
with !CONFIG_PREEMPT and then use the regular xchg macro.

We simply say that regular this_cpu use must be safe regardless of
preemption and interrupt state. That has no material change for x86
and s390 implementations of this_cpu operations. However, arches that
do not provide their own implementation for this_cpu operations will
now get code generated that disables interrupts instead of preemption.

Implement arch specific irqsafe_cpu ops. The arch specific ops do not
disable/enable interrupts since that is an expensive operation. Instead
we disable preemption and perform a compare and swap loop.
Since on server distros (the ones we care about) preemption is disabled
the preempt_disable()/preempt_enable() pair is a nop.
In the end this code should be faster than the generic one.

64bit s390 shares the same problem with alpha regarding percpu symbol
addressing from modules. It needs assembly magic to force GOTENT
reference when building module as the percpu address will be outside
the usual 4G range from the module text. This can be solved by using
weak percpu variable definitions.
This patch makes s390 use weak definitions and switch to dynamic
percpu allocator. Please note that weak attribute is not added if
!SMP as percpu variables behave exactly the same as normal variables
on UP.
Compile tested. Generation of GOTENT reference verified.
This patch is based on Ivan Kokshaysky's alpha percpu patch.
[ Impact: use dynamic percpu allocator ]
