Three cleanup / fixes for CPU GDT alignment.  First comes from Andrew Morton,
PnP BIOS driver was broken during build.  I tested and fixed the PnP BIOS
code for SMP kernels, and third comes a fix for hotplug.

I included Andrew's initial fix for the benefit of those who didn't get it.

Testing: 4-way SMP boot/halt loops with APM and PnP compatible BIOS against
2.6.14-rc2.

Just fyi, 
 I'll leave this until after 2.6.14, since it doesn't seem to be that 
pressing. Can you re-send after the release (preferably with the relevant 
people having signed-off on it or at least added their "acked-by" lines?)

No problems - all of this should be brewing in -mm if not there already 
and will be ready to go in the first week of 2.6.15 developement.  
Judging by the quickening pace, I'm guessing that will be soon?

I'll just queue it up with the rest of the stuff in the virt tree.
