The codes are ported from that of the x86_64, and in each patch, I listed the corresponding patch for x86. Would you please help review and give your comments? v2: I rebased the patches against 3.9-rcs, and also added a patch to replace the exception handling with the generic code in tip timers/nohz. I assume these patches would get in through powerpc tree, so I didn't combine the new patch (#6) with the original one (#2). So that if powerpc tree picks these, it could pick the first five patches, and apply patch #6 later when the dependency enters into powerpc tree (maybe on some 3.10-rcs). I'm also wondering whether it is possible for these to go through tip timers/nohz, so for now, patches #6 and #2 could be combined into one, and no need to worry about the issues caused by arch/common code merging. And it might also make future changes easier.
