Fix two regressions dealing with the kgdb core.
1) kgdb_skipexception and kgdb_post_primary_code are optional
functions that are only required on archs that need special exception
fixups.
2) The kernel address space scope must be set on any probe_kernel_*
function or archs such as ARCH=arm will not allow access to the kernel
memory space. As an example, it is required to allow the full kernel

Fix memory corruption and crash on 32-bit x86 systems.
If a !PAE x86 kernel is booted on a 32-bit system with more than 4GB of
RAM, then we call memory_present() with a start/end that goes outside
the scope of MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS.
That causes this loop to happily walk over the limit of the sparse
memory section map:
for (pfn = start; pfn < end; pfn += PAGES_PER_SECTION) {
unsigned long section = pfn_to_section_nr(pfn);
struct mem_section *ms;
sparse_index_init(section, nid);
set_section_nid(section, nid);
ms = __nr_to_section(section);
if (!ms->section_mem_map)
ms->section_mem_map = sparse_encode_early_nid(nid) |
SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT;
'ms' will be out of bounds and we'll corrupt a small amount of memory by
encoding the node ID and writing SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT (==0x1) over it.
The corruption might happen when encoding a non-zero node ID, or due to
the SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT which is 0x1:
mmzone.h:#define SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT (1UL<<0)
The fix is to sanity check anything the architecture passes to
sparsemem.
This bug seems to be rather old (as old as sparsemem support itself),
but the exact incarnation depended on random details like configs, which
made this bug more prominent in v2.6.25-to-be.
An additional enhancement might be to print a warning about ignored or
trimmed memory ranges.

The per node counters are used mainly for showing data through the sysfs API.
If that API is not compiled in then there is no point in keeping track of this
data. Disable counters for the number of slabs and the number of total slabs
if !SLUB_DEBUG. Incrementing the per node counters is also accessing a
potentially contended cacheline so this could actually be a performance
benefit to embedded systems.
SLABINFO support is also affected. It now must depends on SLUB_DEBUG (which
is on by default).
Patch also avoids a check for a NULL kmem_cache_node pointer in new_slab()
if the system is not compiled with NUMA support.

count_partial() is used by both slabinfo and the sysfs proc support. Move
the function directly before the beginning of the sysfs code so that it can
be easily found. Rework the preprocessor conditional to take into account
that slub sysfs support depends on CONFIG_SYSFS *and* CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG.
Make CONFIG_SLUB_STATS depend on CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG and CONFIG_SYSFS. There
is no point of keeping statistics if no one can restrive them.

As spotted by kmemcheck, we need to initialize the per-CPU ->stat array before
using it.
[kmem_cache_cpu structures are usually allocated from arrays defined via
DEFINE_PER_CPU that are zeroed so we have not noticed this so far --cl].

This should be N_NORMAL_MEMORY.
N_NORMAL_MEMORY is "true" if a node has memory for the kernel. N_HIGH_MEMORY
is "true" if a node has memory for HIGHMEM. (If CONFIG_HIGHMEM=n, always
"true")
This check is used for testing whether we can use kmalloc_node() on a node.
Then, if there is a node which only contains HIGHMEM, the system will call
kmalloc_node() which doesn't contain memory for the kernel. If it happens
under SLUB, the kernel will panic. I think this only happens on x86_32-numa.

A boot option for the memory controller was discussed on lkml. It is a good
idea to add it, since it saves memory for people who want to turn off the
memory controller.
By default the option is on for the following two reasons:
1. It provides compatibility with the current scheme where the memory
controller turns on if the config option is enabled
2. It allows for wider testing of the memory controller, once the config
option is enabled
We still allow the create, destroy callbacks to succeed, since they are not
aware of boot options. We do not populate the directory will memory resource
controller specific files.

GFP_ZERO in the caller, and passing it down to any page allocator logic
