This patch adds a new kernel debug feature: CONFIG_DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP.
When enabled then per-CPU watchdog threads are started, which try to run
once per second. If they get delayed for more than 10 seconds then a
callback from the timer interrupt detects this condition and prints out a
warning message and a stack dump (once per lockup incident). The feature
is otherwise non-intrusive, it doesnt try to unlock the box in any way, it
only gets the debug info out, automatically, and on all CPUs affected by
the lockup.

Until now, FRAME_POINTER was set = DEBUG_INFO for UML. Change it to be the
default way, so that it can be enabled alone (for instance to get better
backtraces on crashes). The call-trace dumper which uses the frame pointer is
not yet in, I'm going to introduce it in a separate patch.

This patch eliminates all kernel BUGs, trims about 35k off the typical
kernel, and makes the system slightly faster.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
