[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
