There is no need to include pv-guest only object files in a kernel not configured to support those. Move Xen's irq.o, xen-asm*.o and pv parts of entry_*.o into CONFIG_XEN_PV sections.

On the vast majority of modern systems, no processes will use the userspsace IO syscalls, iopl and ioperm. Add a new config option, CONFIG_X86_IOPORT, to support configuring them out of the kernel entirely. Most current systems do not run programs using these syscalls, so X86_IOPORT does not depend on EXPERT, though it does still default to y. In addition to saving a significant amount of

I/O from userspace is used to implement usermode virtio driver(s). This has been done independently by Intel, Brocade/Vyatta, and 6Wind. Sorry, it has to stay.

The 32-bit and 64-bit versions of copy_thread have functionally identical handling for copying the I/O bitmap, modulo differences in error handling. Clean up the error paths in both by moving the copy of the I/O bitmap to the end, to eliminate the need to free it if subsequent copy steps fail; move the resulting identical code to a static inline in a common header.

This patch series makes it possible to compile out the iopl and ioperm system calls, which allow privileged processes to request permission to directly poke I/O ports from userspace. Nothing on a modern Linux system uses these calls anymore, and anything new should be using /dev/port instead, or better yet writing a driver. Copying the bloat-o-meter stats from the final patch: 32-bit

This patch series makes it possible to compile out the userspace IO system calls, iopl and ioperm. The first patch does some 32/64 unification in copy_thread to make subsequent changes easier. The second patch simplifies the complex calculation of the TSS segment limit, which also makes it easier to change in the last patch. Patches 3-9 introduce helpers to make it easier to compile out IO.
