[PATCH] Add the vgetcpu vsyscall
This patch adds a vgetcpu vsyscall, which depending on the CPU RDTSCP
capability uses either the RDTSCP or CPUID to obtain a CPU and node
numbers and pass them to the program.
AK: Lots of changes over Vojtech's original code:
Better prototype for vgetcpu()
It's better to pass the cpu / node numbers as separate arguments
to avoid mistakes when going from SMP to NUMA.
Also add a fast time stamp based cache using a user supplied
argument to speed things more up.
Use fast method from Chuck Ebbert to retrieve node/cpu from
GDT limit instead of CPUID
Made sure RDTSCP init is always executed after node is known.
