cd98a04a59 x86: add MAP_STACK mmap flag
as per this discussion:

   http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/8/12/423

Pardo reported that 64-bit threaded apps, if their stacks exceed the
combined size of ~4GB, slow down drastically in pthread_create() - because
glibc uses MAP_32BIT to allocate the stacks. The use of MAP_32BIT is
a legacy hack - to speed up context switching on certain early model
64-bit P4 CPUs.

So introduce a new flag to be used by glibc instead, to not constrain
64-bit apps like this.

glibc can switch to this new flag straight away - it will be ignored
by the kernel. If those old CPUs ever matter to anyone, support for
it can be implemented.

77ef50a522 x86: consolidate header guards
This patch is the result of an automatic script that consolidates the
format of all the headers in include/asm-x86/.

The format:

1. No leading underscore. Names with leading underscores are reserved.
2. Pathname components are separated by two underscores. So we can
   distinguish between mm_types.h and mm/types.h.
3. Everything except letters and numbers are turned into single
   underscores.

5c8eec5019 x86: unify include/asm/mman_32/64.h
Same file, except for the extra 64bit MAP_32BIT define, which does not hurt
for 32 bit compiles.
