TSC is used even on machines when CONFIG_X86_TSC is not set (X86_TSC
means _require_ TSC), but it is not properly disabled when it is
unusable, because acpi code understood the config switch as "may use
TSC".
This actually fixes suspend problems on my x60.

After setting the status of the cqr and releasing the lock for the
block cqr queue, we call the cqr callback function, which will usually

It doesn't work very reliable for me.
For some reason, it hangs for me sometimes (doesn't remove any files, rm

Just copy the first 512 read-only bytes of the current cpu lowcore if
a new cpu gets onlined. The rest is zeroed out and must be explicitly

Fix [ext2_]find_first_[zero_]bit for the corner case of an all clear
