Cover letter [PATCH] [0/50] x86 2.6.24 patches review II

- More cleanups and bug fixes
- Use CLFLUSH in c_p_a(). This were the patches that caused some trouble in -mm with X11, but it should be hopefully fixed now (we'll see)
- Report all IPIs in /proc/interrupts (useful e.g. to find out why CPU isolation fails)
- Experimental patch to disable SVM for the clinical paranoid
- Dump the LER registers on Oopses by default (note that this is not 100% reliable -- we know how to make it reliable, but that's not implemented yet)

Please review.
