[PATCH] x86_64: Inclusion of ScaleMP vSMP architecture patches - vsmp_arch

Introduce vSMP arch to the kernel.

This patch:
1. Adds CONFIG_X86_VSMP
2. Adds machine specific macros for local_irq_disabled, local_irq_enabled
   and irqs_disabled
3. Writes to the vSMP CTL device to indicate kernel compiled with CONFIG_VSMP
