This patch for SGI UV systems addresses a problem whereby
interrupt transactions being looped back from a local IOH,
through the hub to a local CPU can (erroneously) conflict with
IO port operations and other transactions.
To workaound this we set a high bit in the APIC IDs used for
interrupts. This bit appears to be ignored by the sockets, but
it avoids the conflict in the hub.

The [vk][cmz]alloc(_node) family of functions return void
pointers which it's completely unnecessary/pointless to cast to
other pointer types since that happens implicitly.
This patch removes such casts from arch/x86.

x86 has finally arrived in the embedded nightmare and will rapidly
grow SoC platform support in various flavours. So we need a place for
the platform support files. That also allows us to clean up the
dumpground which arch/x86/kernel has become over time.
