applied to tip/x86/uv, thanks Mike!

Please send the cpu_idle() cleanup patch separately.

Another minor thing i noticed:

@@ -130,7 +140,9 @@ struct uv_hub_info_s {
unsigned char blade_processor_id;
unsigned char m_val;
unsigned char n_val;
+ struct uv_scir_s scir;

please align the new field vertically, like they were aligned before -
by adding another tab to the whole lineup. (This will also make it
appear nicer when viewed together with followup definitions below this
section)

Ingo
