[PATCH] x86_64: x86_64 version of the smp alternative patch.
Changes are largely identical to the i386 version:
* alternative #define are moved to the new alternative.h file.
* one new elf section with pointers to the lock prefixes which can be
nop'ed out for non-smp.
* two new elf sections simliar to the "classic" alternatives to
replace SMP code with simpler UP code.
* fixup headers to use alternative.h instead of defining their own
LOCK / LOCK_PREFIX macros.
The patch reuses the i386 version of the alternatives code to avoid code
duplication. The code in alternatives.c was shuffled around a bit to
reduce the number of #ifdefs needed. It also got some tweaks needed for
x86_64 (vsyscall page handling) and new features (noreplacement option
which was x86_64 only up to now). Debug printk's are changed from
compile-time to runtime.
Loosely based on a early version from Bastian Blank <waldi@debian.org>
