[PATCH 1/2] Disable UV BAU by default

[Alex Thorlton <athorlton@sgi.com>]

For several years, the common practice has been to boot UVs with the
"nobau" parameter on the command line, to disable the BAU.  We've
decided that it makes more sense to just disable the BAU by default in
the kernel, and provide the option to turn it on, if desired.
