Define macros and accessors for the configuration space addressed
indirectly with an index register and a data register at the port I/O
locations of 0x22 and 0x23 respectively.
This space is defined by the Intel MultiProcessor Specification for the
IMCR register used to switch between the PIC and the APIC mode[1], by
Cyrix processors for their configuration[2][3], and also some chipsets.
Given the lack of atomicity with the indirect addressing a spinlock is
required to protect accesses, although for Cyrix processors it is enough
if accesses are executed with interrupts locally disabled, because the
registers are local to the accessing CPU, and IMCR is only ever poked at
by the BSP and early enough for interrupts not to have been configured
yet. Therefore existing code does not have to change or use the new
spinlock and neither it does.
Put the spinlock in a library file then, so that it does not get pulled
unnecessarily for configurations that do not refer it.
Convert Cyrix accessors to wrappers so as to retain the brevity and
clarity of the `getCx86' and `setCx86' calls.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
