In calculating stolen time, we were trying to actually account for time
spent in the hypervisor. We don't really have enough information to do
that accurately, so don't try. Instead, we now calculate stolen time as
time that the current cpu thread is not actually dispatching instructions.
On chips without a PURR, we cannot do this, so stolen time will always
be zero. On chips with a PURR, this is merely the difference between
the elapsed PURR values and the elapsed TB values.
This gives us much more sane vaules from tools such as mpstat, even if
they are still a bit strange e.g. 2 busy threads on one cpu will both
appear to have 50% user time and 50% stolen time while 1 busy thread on
a cpu will look like 100% user on one of them and 100% idle on the other.

CCISS was producing warnings about shifts being greater than the size of

because it's calling do_div on a 32-bit quantity. Upon further
investigation, the sector_t total_size is being assigned to an int, and
then we're calling do_div on that int. Obviously, sector_div is called for

that if someone:
1) was using MPOL_BIND to force off node allocations
2) while using cpusets to constrain memory placement
3) when that cpuset was migrating that jobs memory
4) while the tasks in that job were actively forking
then there was a rare chance that future allocations using

The reason sky2 driver was locking up on transmit on the Yukon-FE chipset
is that it was misconfiguring the internal RAM buffer so the transmitter
and receiver were sharing the same space.
The code assumed there was 16K of RAM on Yukon-FE (taken from vendor driver
sk98lin which is even more f*cked up on this). Then it assigned based on that.
The giveaway was that the registers would only hold 9bits so both RX/TX
had 0..1ff for space. It is a wonder it worked at all!
This patch addresses this, and fixes an easily reproducible hang on Transmit.

TARGET_CPUS is the default irq routing poicy. It specifies which cpus the
kernel should aim an irq at. In physflat delivery mode we can route an irq to
a single cpu. But that doesn't mean our default policy should only be a
single cpu is allowed.
By allowing the irq routing code to select from multiple cpus this enables
systems with more irqs then we can service on a single processor to actually
work.
I just audited and tested the code and irqbalance doesn't care, and the
io_apic.c doesn't care if we have extra cpus in the mask. Everything will use
or assume we are using the lowest numbered cpu in the mask if we can't use
them all.
So this should result in no behavior changes except on systems that need it.
