SDM Vol 3a section titled "MTRR considerations in MP systems" specifies
the need for synchronizing the logical cpu's while initializing/updating
MTRR.
Currently Linux kernel does the synchronization of all cpu's only when
a single MTRR register is programmed/updated. During an AP online
(during boot/cpu-online/resume) where we initialize all the MTRR/PAT registers,
we don't follow this synchronization algorithm.
This can lead to scenarios where during a dynamic cpu online, that logical cpu
is initializing MTRR/PAT with cache disabled (cr0.cd=1) etc while other logical
HT sibling continue to run (also with cache disabled because of cr0.cd=1
on its sibling).
Starting from Westmere, VMX transitions with cr0.cd=1 don't work properly
(because of some VMX performance optimizations) and the above scenario
(with one logical cpu doing VMX activity and another logical cpu coming online)
can result in system crash.
Fix the MTRR initialization by doing rendezvous of all the cpus. During
boot and resume, we delay the MTRR/PAT init for APs till all the
logical cpu's come online and the rendezvous process at the end of AP's bringup,
will initialize the MTRR/PAT for all AP's.
For dynamic single cpu online, we synchronize all the logical cpus and
do the MTRR/PAT init on the AP that is coming online.

This is the last unification step. Here we do remove one of the files
and rename the left one as cpu.c, as both are now the same.
Also update power/Makefile, telling it to build cpu.o, instead of
cpu_(32|64).o

Rename cpu.c, suspend.c and swsusp.S in arch/x86/power to cpu_32.c,
hibernate_32.c and hibernate_asm_32.S, respectively, and update the
purpose and copyright information in these files.
Update the Makefile in arch/x86/power to reflect the above changes.

.. allowing to remove their declarations from a global include file
(the symbols don't exist for anything but x86).
Likewise for 64-bits' fix_processor_context(), just that that one was
properly declared in an arch-specific header.

This replaces the debugreg[7] member of thread_struct with individual
members debugreg0, etc. This saves two words for the dummies 4 and 5,
and harmonizes the code between 32 and 64.
