162bc7ab01 x86: Add hardware_subarch ID for Moorestown
x86 bootprotocol 2.07 has introduced hardware_subarch ID in the boot
parameters provided by FW. We use it to identify Moorestown platforms.

3162534069 x86, intel_txt: Intel TXT boot support
This patch adds kernel configuration and boot support for Intel Trusted
Execution Technology (Intel TXT).

Intel's technology for safer computing, Intel Trusted Execution
Technology (Intel TXT), defines platform-level enhancements that
provide the building blocks for creating trusted platforms.

Intel TXT was formerly known by the code name LaGrande Technology (LT).

Intel TXT in Brief:
o  Provides dynamic root of trust for measurement (DRTM)
o  Data protection in case of improper shutdown
o  Measurement and verification of launched environment

Intel TXT is part of the vPro(TM) brand and is also available some
non-vPro systems.  It is currently available on desktop systems based on
the Q35, X38, Q45, and Q43 Express chipsets (e.g. Dell Optiplex 755, HP
dc7800, etc.) and mobile systems based on the GM45, PM45, and GS45
Express chipsets.

For more information, see http://www.intel.com/technology/security/.
This site also has a link to the Intel TXT MLE Developers Manual, which
has been updated for the new released platforms.

A much more complete description of how these patches support TXT, how to
configure a system for it, etc. is in the Documentation/intel_txt.txt file
in this patch.

This patch provides the TXT support routines for complete functionality,
documentation for TXT support and for the changes to the boot_params structure,
and boot detection of a TXT launch.  Attempts to shutdown (reboot, Sx) the system
will result in platform resets; subsequent patches will support these shutdown modes
properly.

5031296c57 x86: add extension fields for bootloader type and version
A long ago, in days of yore, it all began with a god named Thor.
There were vikings and boats and some plans for a Linux kernel
header.  Unfortunately, a single 8-bit field was used for bootloader
type and version.  This has generally worked without *too* much pain,
but we're getting close to flat running out of ID fields.

Add extension fields for both type and version.  The type will be
extended if it the old field is 0xE; the version is a simple MSB
extension.

Keep /proc/sys/kernel/bootloader_type containing
(type << 4) + (ver & 0xf) for backwards compatiblity, but also add
/proc/sys/kernel/bootloader_version which contains the full version
number.

[ Impact: new feature to support more bootloaders ]

1965aae3c9 x86: Fix ASM_X86__ header guards
Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since:

a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless.
b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints.
