d9d4fcfe51 Fix "Malformed early option 'loglevel'"
Keith Mannthey said:

  The parameter hotadd_percent is setup right but there is a "Malformed
  early option 'numa'" message.

Rusty Russell said:

  This happens when the function registered with early_param() returns
  non-zero.  __setup() functions return 1 if OK, module_param() and
  early_param() return 0 or a -ve error code.

d47846c586 sysfs: CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED fix
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED=y changed its meaning recently and causes
regressions in working setups that had SYSFS_DEPRECATED disabled.

so rename it to SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 so that testers pick up the new
default via 'make oldconfig', even if their old .config's disabled
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED ...

0835ab53ea cgroup memory controller: document huge memory/cache overhead in Kconfig
Document huge memory/cache overhead of memory controller in Kconfig

I was a little surprised that 2.6.25-rc* increased struct page for the
memory controller.  At least on many x86-64 machines it will not fit into a
single cache line now anymore and also costs considerable amounts of RAM.
At earlier review I remembered asking for a external data structure for
this.

It's also quite unobvious that a innocent looking Kconfig option with a
single line Kconfig description has such a negative effect.

This patch attempts to document these disadvantages at least so that users
configuring their kernel can make a informed decision.

430c623121 start the global /sbin/init with 0,0 special pids
As Eric pointed out, there is no problem with init starting with sid == pgid
== 0, and this was historical linux behavior changed in 2.6.18.

Remove kernel_init()->__set_special_pids(), this is unneeded and complicates
the rules for sys_setsid().

This change and the previous change in daemonize() mean that /sbin/init does
not need the special "session != 1" hack in sys_setsid() any longer. We can't
remove this check yet, we should cleanup copy_process(CLONE_NEWPID) first, so
update the comment only.

init_user_ns into user.c file to make the kernel compile and work without the

ae5e1b22f1 namespaces: move the IPC namespace under IPC_NS option
Currently the IPC namespace management code is spread over the ipc/*.c files.
I moved this code into ipc/namespace.c file which is compiled out when needed.

The linux/ipc_namespace.h file is used to store the prototypes of the
functions in namespace.c and the stubs for NAMESPACES=n case.  This is done
so, because the stub for copy_ipc_namespace requires the knowledge of the
CLONE_NEWIPC flag, which is in sched.h.  But the linux/ipc.h file itself in
included into many many .c files via the sys.h->sem.h sequence so adding the
sched.h into it will make all these .c depend on sched.h which is not that
good.  On the other hand the knowledge about the namespaces stuff is required
in 4 .c files only.

Besides, this patch compiles out some auxiliary functions from ipc/sem.c,
msg.c and shm.c files.  It turned out that moving these functions into
namespaces.c is not that easy because they use many other calls and macros
from the original file.  Moving them would make this patch complicated.  On
the other hand all these functions can be consolidated, so I will send a
separate patch doing this a bit later.

The basics of DSDT from initramfs. In case this option is selected,
populate_rootfs() is called a bit earlier to have the initramfs content

This is a very similar path to the one available at
http://gaugusch.at/kernel.shtml but with some update in the
documentation, default set to No and the change of populate_rootfs() the
"Jeff Mahony way" (which avoids reading the initramfs twice).
