When the seqfile /proc/cpuinfo gets accesses for each possible cpu
loops_per_jiffy gets recalculated. However its value is only needed
on first access.
In addition loops_per_jiffy should be recalculated when the machine
reports a capability change.

Use get_online_cpus() instead of preempt_disable() to make sure cpus
don't go offline while accessing their per cpu data.
The preempt_disable() stuff is old code which was used before
get_online_cpus() was available.

Get rid of messages that indicate if a cpu went online or offline.
There is nothing special about this anymore and these messages might
flood the kernel log buffer which makes debugging harder since more
important messages might be overwritten.

Up to now print_cpu_info() uses the cpu address stored in it's local
lowcore to print a message to the console. The cpu address in the
lowcore is (in this case) however not the physical cpu address of the
local cpu. It's the address of the cpu that issued the sigp restart
which started the local cpu.
Fix this by using the store cpu address instruction instead.
It's not that anybody really cares since this is broken since more than
ten years...

This patch makes the hwcap bit for the high gprs feature to be visible

The Extended Translation Facility 3 (ETF3) added instructions which
allow conversions between different unicode character maps (UTF-8,
UTF-32 ...). These instructions got enhanced with a later version of
the ETF3 allowing malformed multibyte chars to be recognized and
reported correctly. The attached patch reserves bit 8 in the elf
hwcaps vector for the enhanced version of ETF3. The bit corresponds to
the stfle bits 22 and 30 and will only be set if both of the stfle
bits are set.
