smp: patches from mainline 3.5 to hopefully help with hotplug
efficiency

Thomas Gleixner's generic-idle patches:

smp: Add task_struct argument to __cpu_up()
Preparatory patch to make the idle thread allocation for secondary
cpus generic.

smp: Add generic smpboot facility
Start a new file, which will hold SMP and CPU hotplug related generic
infrastructure.

smp: Provide generic idle thread allocation
All SMP architectures have magic to fork the idle task and to store it
for reusage when cpu hotplug is enabled. Provide a generic
infrastructure for it.
Create/reinit the idle thread for the cpu which is brought up in the
generic code and hand the thread pointer to the architecture code via
__cpu_up().
Note, that fork_idle() is called via a workqueue, because this
guarantees that the idle thread does not get a reference to a user
space VM. This can happen when the boot process did not bring up all
possible cpus and a later cpu_up() is initiated via the sysfs
interface. In that case fork_idle() would be called in the context of
the user space task and take a reference on the user space VM.

ARM: SoC: add per-platform SMP operations

This adds a 'struct smp_operations' to abstract the CPU initialization
and hot plugging functions on SMP systems, which otherwise conflict
in a multiplatform kernel. This also helps shmobile and potentially
others that have more than one method to do these.

To allow the kernel to continue building, the platform hooks are
defined as weak symbols which are overrided by the platform code.
Once all platforms are converted, the "weak" attribute will be
removed and the function made static.

Unlike the original version from Marc, this new version from Arnd
does not use a generalized abstraction for per-soc data structures
but only tries to solve the problem for the SMP operations. This
way, we can collapse the previous four data structures into a
single struct, which is less systematic but also easier to follow
as a causal reader.
