  x86, ioapic: Only print ioapic debug information for IRQs belonging to an ioapic chip
  x86/mrst: Avoid reporting wrong nmi status
  x86/mrst: Add support for Penwell clock calibration
  x86/apic: Allow use of lapic timer early calibration result
  x86/apic: Do not clear nr_irqs_gsi if no legacy irqs
  x86/platform: Add a wallclock_init func to x86_platforms ops
  x86/mce: Make mce_chrdev_ops 'static const'
