There's a bunch of unused exports in the wireless drivers; that's
bad since unused exports take up quite a bit of space in total;
the patch below removes them.

This patch introduces a user for the e820_all_mapped function:
There have been several machines that don't have a working MMCONFIG,
often because of a buggy MCFG table in the ACPI bios. This patch adds a
simple sanity check that detects a whole bunch of these cases, and when
it detects it, linux now boots rather than crash-and-burns.
The accuracy of this detection can in principle be improved if there was
a "is this entire range in e820 with THIS attribute", but no such
function exist and the complexity needed for this is not really worth
it; this simple check already catches most cases anyway.

Introduce a e820_all_mapped() function which checks if the entire range
<start,end> is mapped with type.
This is done by moving the local start variable to the end of each
known-good region; if at the end of the function the start address is
still before end, there must be a part that's not of the correct type;
otherwise it's a good region.

Rename e820_mapped to e820_any_mapped since it tests if any part of the
range is mapped according to the type.
Later steps will introduce e820_all_mapped which will check if the
entire range is mapped with the type. Both have their merit.

This reverts the mutex conversion that was recently done to the hdaps
driver; this coversion was buggy because the hdaps driver started using
this semaphore in IRQ context, which mutexes do not allow. Easiest
solution for now is to just revert the patch (the patch was part of a
bigger GIT commit, 9a61bf6300 but this
only reverts this one file)

This reorders the mmu_state int in the pda, such that there is no more
padding (there currently is 4 bytes of padding). Boot tested.

This patch puts the code from head.S in a special .bootstrap.text
section.
I'm working on a patch to reorder the functions in the kernel (I'll post
that later), but for x86-64 at least the kernel bootstrap requires that
the head.S functions are on the very first page/pages of the kernel
text. This is understandable since the bootstrap is complex enough
already and not a problem at all, it just means they aren't allowed to
be reordered. This patch puts these special functions into a separate
section to document this, and to guarantee this in the light of possibly
reordering the rest later.
(So this patch doesn't fix a bug per se, but makes things more robust by
making the order of these functions explicit)

Disable (via ugly #if 0's) the 3 sysfs files that I think by now we all
agree are very much wrong. These files shouldn't become part of the ABI by
the 2.6.16 release, so I rather have this minimal patch merged to disable
them for now, the real fix can then come during the 2.6.17 devel window.
