Hi Linus,

This patch does the following:

        - Remove CONFIG_SMP as the compiler will optimize
          the code away anyway (smp_num_cpus == 1 in UP).
        - Make power off under SMP work again.
        - Fix thinko with initial engaging of BIOS.
        - Make sure power off only happens on CPU 0.
        - Do error notification to user mode if BIOS calls fail.
        - Move entrypoint offset fix to ...boot/setup.S
          where it belongs.
        - Remove smp-power-off. SMP users must now specify
          "apm=power-off" on the kernel command line.
        - Register the /proc/apm entry even on SMP so that
          scripts that check for it before doing power off work.
        - Changes for new pm_ interfaces.

And just what everyone has been waiting for :-)

        - Modularize the code.

Cheers,
Stephen
