[IA64] Multiple outstanding ptc.g instruction support
According to SDM2.2, Itanium supports multiple outstanding ptc.g instructions. But current kernel function ia64_global_tlb_purge() uses a spinlock to serialize ptc.g instructions issued by multiple processors. This serialization might have scalability issue on a big SMP machine where many processors could purge TLB in parallel. The patch fixes this problem by issuing multiple ptc.g instructions in ia64_global_tlb_purge(). It also adds support for the "PALO" table to get a platform view of the max number of outstanding ptc.g instructions (which may be different from the processor view found from PAL_VM_SUMMARY). PALO specification can be found at: http://www.dig64.org/home/DIG64_PALO_R1_0.pdf spinaphore implementation by Matthew Wilcox.
