x86: get rid of smp_32.c and smp_64.c
This patch merges the copyright notices, and valuable
comments that were left back on smp_{32,64}.c. With that,
files are empty, and are deleted

36 | * Some notes on x86 processor bugs affecting SMP operation: | ||
37 | * | ||
38 | * Pentium, Pentium Pro, II, III (and all CPUs) have bugs. | ||
39 | * The Linux implications for SMP are handled as follows: | ||
40 | * | ||
41 | * Pentium III / [Xeon] | ||
42 | * None of the E1AP-E3AP errata are visible to the user. | ||
43 | * | ||
44 | * E1AP. see PII A1AP | ||
45 | * E2AP. see PII A2AP | ||
46 | * E3AP. see PII A3AP | ||
47 | * | ||
48 | * Pentium II / [Xeon] | ||
49 | * None of the A1AP-A3AP errata are visible to the user. | ||
50 | * | ||
51 | * A1AP. see PPro 1AP | ||
52 | * A2AP. see PPro 2AP | ||
53 | * A3AP. see PPro 7AP | ||
54 | * | ||
55 | * Pentium Pro | ||
56 | * None of 1AP-9AP errata are visible to the normal user, | ||
57 | * except occasional delivery of 'spurious interrupt' as trap #15. | ||
58 | * This is very rare and a non-problem. | ||
59 | * | ||
60 | * 1AP. Linux maps APIC as non-cacheable | ||
61 | * 2AP. worked around in hardware | ||
62 | * 3AP. fixed in C0 and above steppings microcode update. | ||
63 | * Linux does not use excessive STARTUP_IPIs. | ||
64 | * 4AP. worked around in hardware | ||
65 | * 5AP. symmetric IO mode (normal Linux operation) not affected. | ||
66 | * 'noapic' mode has vector 0xf filled out properly. | ||
67 | * 6AP. 'noapic' mode might be affected - fixed in later steppings | ||
68 | * 7AP. We do not assume writes to the LVT deassering IRQs | ||
69 | * 8AP. We do not enable low power mode (deep sleep) during MP bootup | ||
70 | * 9AP. We do not use mixed mode | ||
71 | * | ||
72 | * Pentium | ||
73 | * There is a marginal case where REP MOVS on 100MHz SMP | ||
74 | * machines with B stepping processors can fail. XXX should provide | ||
75 | * an L1cache=Writethrough or L1cache=off option. | ||
76 | * | ||
77 | * B stepping CPUs may hang. There are hardware work arounds | ||
78 | * for this. We warn about it in case your board doesn't have the work | ||
79 | * arounds. Basically that's so I can tell anyone with a B stepping | ||
80 | * CPU and SMP problems "tough". | ||
81 | * | ||
82 | * Specific items [From Pentium Processor Specification Update] | ||
83 | * | ||
84 | * 1AP. Linux doesn't use remote read | ||
85 | * 2AP. Linux doesn't trust APIC errors | ||
86 | * 3AP. We work around this | ||
87 | * 4AP. Linux never generated 3 interrupts of the same priority | ||
88 | * to cause a lost local interrupt. | ||
89 | * 5AP. Remote read is never used | ||
90 | * 6AP. not affected - worked around in hardware | ||
91 | * 7AP. not affected - worked around in hardware | ||
92 | * 8AP. worked around in hardware - we get explicit CS errors if not | ||
93 | * 9AP. only 'noapic' mode affected. Might generate spurious | ||
94 | * interrupts, we log only the first one and count the | ||
95 | * rest silently. | ||
96 | * 10AP. not affected - worked around in hardware | ||
97 | * 11AP. Linux reads the APIC between writes to avoid this, as per | ||
98 | * the documentation. Make sure you preserve this as it affects | ||
99 | * the C stepping chips too. | ||
100 | * 12AP. not affected - worked around in hardware | ||
101 | * 13AP. not affected - worked around in hardware | ||
102 | * 14AP. we always deassert INIT during bootup | ||
103 | * 15AP. not affected - worked around in hardware | ||
104 | * 16AP. not affected - worked around in hardware | ||
105 | * 17AP. not affected - worked around in hardware | ||
106 | * 18AP. not affected - worked around in hardware | ||
107 | * 19AP. not affected - worked around in BIOS | ||
108 | * | ||
109 | * If this sounds worrying believe me these bugs are either ___RARE___, | ||
110 | * or are signal timing bugs worked around in hardware and there's | ||
111 | * about nothing of note with C stepping upwards. | ||
