Flag a whole bunch of things as __read_mostly on parisc. Also flag a few
branches as unlikely() and cleanup a bit of code.

Fix our interrupts not to use smp_call_function
On K and D class smp, the generic code calls this under an irq
spinlock, which causes the WARN_ON() message in smp_call_function()
(and is also illegal because it could deadlock).
The fix is to use a new scheme based on the IPI_NOP.

Fix a longstanding smp bug
The problem is that both the timer and ipi interrupts are being called
with interrupts enabled, which isn't what anyone is expecting.
The IPI issue has just started to show up by causing a BUG_ON in the
slab debugging code. The timer issue never shows up because there's an
eiem work around in our irq.c
The fix is to label both these as SA_INTERRUPT which causes the generic
irq code not to enable interrupts.
I also suspect the smp_call_function timeouts we're seeing might be
connected with the fact that we disable IPIs when handling any other
type of interrupt. I've put a WARN_ON in the code for executing
smp_call_function() with IPIs disabled.

Run idle threads with preempt disabled.
Also corrected a bugs in arm26's cpu_idle (make it actually call schedule()).
How did it ever work before?
Might fix the CPU hotplugging hang which Nigel Cunningham noted.
We think the bug hits if the idle thread is preempted after checking
need_resched() and before going to sleep, then the CPU offlined.
After calling stop_machine_run, the CPU eventually returns from preemption and
into the idle thread and goes to sleep. The CPU will continue executing
previous idle and have no chance to call play_dead.
By disabling preemption until we are ready to explicitly schedule, this bug is
fixed and the idle threads generally become more robust.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
