x86-64/smp: fix random SIGSEGV issues
They seem to have been due to AMD errata 63/122; the fix is to disable TLB flush filtering in SMP configurations. Confirmed to fix the problem by Andrew Walrond <andrew@walrond.org> [ Let's see if we'll have a better fix eventually, this is the Q&D "let's get this fixed and out there" version ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
