TLB shootdown for SGI UV.
This patch brings the code in Ingo's x86/x86/uv (June 19,2008) to v6
v1: 6/2 original
v2: 6/3 corrections/improvements per Ingo's review
v3: 6/4 split atomic operations off to a separate patch (Jeremy's review)
v4: 6/12 include <mach_apic.h> rather than <asm/mach-bigsmp/mach_apic.h>
(fixes a !SMP build problem)
fix the index on uv_table_bases[blade]
v5: 6/18 corrections/improvements per Ingo's second and third reviews
Ingo made coding improvements himself.
v6: 6/19 close the security hole in uv_ptc_proc_write())
and adds tlb_uv.o to the Makefile
Diffed against 2.6.26-rc6

is fixed below.
It adds tlb_uv.o to the Makefile.
And it's build-tested.
