Distributed storage.
I'm pleased to announce the 10'th release of the distributed
storage subsystem (DST). This is a maintenance release and includes
bug fixes and simple feature extensions only.
DST allows to form a storage on top of local and remote nodes
and combine them into linear or mirror

The stty setting, "echoctl", directs the tty to echo control characters
as a normal letter prefixed by "^" (such as "^C" for the default INTR
setting). Linux does not currently echo for the INTR/QUIT/SUSP signals,
whereas all other "unix" variants I have used over the years do, to my
recollection

This patches proceeds with the integration of msr.h, making
the code unified, instead of having a version for each architecture.
We stick with the native_* functions, and then paravirt comes for free.

This patch uses the _ASM_ALIGN and _ASM_PTR macros
to make the fixups in native_read/write_msr_safe look the same
for x86_64 and i386. Besides using this macros, we also have to
take the explicit instruction suffixes out. It's okay
because all this instructions uses registers, and can be sized by
t
cpuid is not very different between i386 and x86_64.
We move away the x86_64 version from msr.h, and
unify them at processor.h, where they belong.
cpuid() paravirt then comes for free.

This patche changes the native_write_msr() and friends interface
to explicitly take 2 32-bit registers instead of a 64-bit value.
The change will ease the merge with 64-bit code. As the 64-bit
value will be passed as two registers anyway in i386,
the PVOP_CALL interface has to account for that and
the rdpmc instruction gets a counter argument in rcx. However,
the i386 version was ignoring it. To make both x86_64 and i386 versions
the same, as well as to comply with the instruction semantics, this
parameter is added in the i386 version

Among other things, using -traditional as a gcc option stops us from
using macro token pasting, which is a feature we heavily rely on.
There was still a use of -traditional in arch/x86/kernel/Makefile_64,
which this patch removes.
I don't see any problems building kernels in my x86_64 box without
