add CFS debug sysctls: only tweakable if SCHED_DEBUG is enabled.
This allows for faster debugging of scheduler problems.

sched_fork()/sched_exit() does not need to specify fastcall anymore,
as the x86 kernel defaults to regparm3, and no assembly code calls
these functions.

track TSC-unstable events and propagate it to the scheduler code.
Also allow sched_clock() to be used when the TSC is unstable,
the rq_clock() wrapper creates a reliable clock out of it.

apply the CFS core code.
this change switches over the scheduler core to CFS's modular
design and makes use of kernel/sched_fair/rt/idletask.c to implement
Linux's scheduling policies.
thanks to Andrew Morton and Thomas Gleixner for lots of detailed review
feedback and for fixlets.

remove the sleep-bonus interactivity code from the core scheduler.
scheduling policy is implemented in the policy modules, and CFS does
not need such type of heuristics.

remove the expired_starving() heuristics from the core scheduler.
CFS does not need it, and this did not really work well in practice
anyway, due to the rq->nr_running multiplier to STARVATION_LIMIT.

add rq_clock()/__rq_clock(), a robust wrapper around sched_clock(),
used by CFS. It protects against common type of sched_clock() problems

add kernel/sched_idletask.c - which implements the idle thread
scheduling class. This further simplifies sched.c (under CFS),
for example a number of 'if (p == rq->idle)' type of special-cases
can be removed from sched.c, and schedule() gets simpler too.

the SMP load-balancer uses the boot-time migration-cost estimation
code to attempt to improve the quality of balancing. The reason for
this code is that the discrete priority queues do not preserve
the order of scheduling accurately, so the load-balancer skips
tasks that were running on a CPU 'recently'.
this code is fundamental fragile: the boot-time migration cost detector
doesnt really work on systems that had large L3 caches, it caused boot
delays on large systems and the whole cache-hot concept made the
balancing code pretty undeterministic as well.
(and hey, i wrote most of it, so i can say it out loud that it sucks ;-)
under CFS the same purpose of cache affinity can be achieved without
any special cache-hot special-case: tasks are sorted in the 'timeline'
tree and the SMP balancer picks tasks from the left side of the
tree, thus the most cache-cold task is balanced automatically.

enum idle_type (used by the load-balancer) clashes with the
SCHED_IDLE name that we want to introduce. 'CPU_IDLE' instead
of 'SCHED_IDLE' is more descriptive as well.

Add support for the SATA portion of Marvell's AHCI-compatible chips.
The PATA port capability, also available via AHCI, is disabled until
support is completed.
NCQ and PCI MSI are disabled by default. Marvell says "we use NCQ" in
their drivers but "we do not use PCI MSI." Theoretically that implies
we need to fix ahci.c to work with Marvell NCQ, but one wonders why
Marvell NCQ is any different from other AHCI chips.

sil24_interrupt() loads host->ports[i] into a local variable,
validates it, and then loads the value again in the call to
sil24_host_intr(). This patch replaces the second load by a
reference to the local variable.
This is safe since no side-effects have occurred since the
initial load. It also improves readability since it makes
it clear that the parameter to sil24_host_intr() is the same
value which was just validated.

This patch applies some trivial cleanups to sata_promise:
- repair whitespace damage
- correct comment at board_2057x_pata definition
- pull SATAII TX4 support code out to separate functions
- rename ata_nr to ata_no for consistency with libata's port_no
- remove some init-time debug printks (requested by Jeff)
This patch should cause no behavioural changes, except for
the removed printks.
