5bf97e0119 [PATCH] x86-64: Use physflat on Intel for < 8 CPUs with CPU hotplug
This avoids races with the APIC broadcast/mask modes.

7055646348 [PATCH] x86-64: Use largest APIC number, not number of CPUs to decide on physflat mode
Handles case where BIOS gives CPUs very large APIC numbers correctly.

f8d311939f [PATCH] x86_64: Support more than 8 cores on AMD systems
Use physical mode instead of logical mode to address more CPUs.  This is also
used in the CPU hotplug case to avoid a race.

90660ec3c3 [PATCH] x86_64 genapic update
x86_64 genapic mechanism should be aware of machines that use physical APIC
mode regardless of how many clusters/processors are detected.

ACPI 3.0 FADT makes this determination very simple by providing a feature
flag "force_apic_physical_destination_mode" to state whether the machine
unconditionally uses physical APIC mode.

Unisys' next generation x86_64 ES7000 will need to utilize this FADT
feature flag in order to boot the x86_64 kernel in the correct APIC mode. 
This patch has been tested on both x86_64 commodity and ES7000 boxes.

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!
