5bd085b5fb x86: remove "extern" from function prototypes in <asm/proto.h>
Function prototypes don't need "extern", and it is generally frowned
upon to have them.

4b0f3b81eb x86, mm: Report state of NX protections during boot
It is possible for x86_64 systems to lack the NX bit either due to the
hardware lacking support or the BIOS having turned off the CPU capability,
so NX status should be reported.  Additionally, anyone booting NX-capable
CPUs in 32bit mode without PAE will lack NX functionality, so this change
provides feedback for that case as well.

4763ed4d45 x86, mm: Clean up and simplify NX enablement
The 32- and 64-bit code used very different mechanisms for enabling
NX, but even the 32-bit code was enabling NX in head_32.S if it is
available.  Furthermore, we had a bewildering collection of tests for
the available of NX.

This patch:

a) merges the 32-bit set_nx() and the 64-bit check_efer() function
   into a single x86_configure_nx() function.  EFER control is left
   to the head code.

b) eliminates the nx_enabled variable entirely.  Things that need to
   test for NX enablement can verify __supported_pte_mask directly,
   and cpu_has_nx gives the supported status of NX.

43644679a1 x86: fix power-of-2 round_up/round_down macros
These macros had two bugs:
 - the type of the mask was not correctly expanded to the full size of
   the argument being expanded, resulting in possible loss of high bits
   when mixing types.
 - the alignment argument was evaluated twice, despite the macro looking
   like a fancy function (but it really does need to be a macro, since
   it works on arbitrary integer types)

Noticed by Peter Anvin, and with a fix that is a modification of his
suggestion (bug noticed by Yinghai Lu).

f095df0a0c x86/Voyager: remove X86_BIOS_REBOOT Kconfig quirk
Voyager has this Kconfig quirk:

config X86_BIOS_REBOOT
	bool
	depends on !X86_VOYAGER
	default y

Voyager should use the existing machine_ops.emergency_restart reboot
quirk mechanism instead of a build-time quirk.

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.
