Pull x86/uv changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "UV2 BAU productization fixes.

  The BAU (Broadcast Assist Unit) is SGI's fancy out of line way on UV
  hardware to do TLB flushes, instead of the normal APIC IPI methods.
  The commits here fix / work around hangs in their latest hardware
  iteration (UV2).

  My understanding is that the main purpose of the out of line
  signalling channel is to improve scalability: the UV APIC hardware
  glue does not handle broadcasting to many CPUs very well, and this
  matters most for TLB shootdowns.

  [ I don't agree with all aspects of the current approach: in hindsight
    it would have been better to link the BAU at the IPI/APIC driver
    level instead of the TLB shootdown level, where TLB flushes are
    really just one of the uses of broadcast SMP messages.  Doing that
    would improve scalability in some other ways and it would also
    remove a few uglies from the TLB path.  It would also be nice to
    push more is_uv_system() tests into proper x86_init or x86_platform
    callbacks.  Cliff? ]"
