Subject: [PATCH 00/11] x86: cpumask: some more cpumask cleanups


Here's some more cpumask cleanups.

    ia64: cpumask fix for is_affinity_mask_valid()
    cpumask: update local_cpus_show to use new cpumask API
    cpumask: update pci_bus_show_cpuaffinity to use new cpumask API
    x86: cleanup remaining cpumask_t ops in smpboot code
    x86: clean up speedstep-centrino and reduce cpumask_t usage
    cpumask: Replace CPUMASK_ALLOC etc with cpumask_var_t.
    cpumask: convert struct cpufreq_policy to cpumask_var_t.
    cpumask: use work_on_cpu in acpi/cstate.c
    cpumask: use cpumask_var_t in acpi-cpufreq.c
    cpumask: use work_on_cpu in acpi-cpufreq.c for drv_read and drv_write
    cpumask: use work_on_cpu in acpi-cpufreq.c for read_measured_perf_ctrs

This version basically splits out the changes to make it more
bisectable, and has been patch-wise compile/boot tested.  Updated
stats are below.

The number of stack hogs have been significantly reduced:

And the overall memory usage is becoming quite less affected by changing
NR_CPUS from 128 to 4096:

====== Text/Data ()
    1 - allyesconfig-128
    2 - allyesconfig-4k

       .1.       .2.    ..final..
  32950272    +10240   32960512 +0.03%  TextSize
  45082624    +77824   45160448 +0.17%  DataSize
  11436032  +4167680   15603712   +36%  BssSize
   3514368   +794624    4308992   +22%  InitSize

  95248384  +5777408  101025792  +106%  Totals


Detailing it by section shows there still are a few areas to examine more
closely.  Note init.data is "give back" memory, but data.cacheline_aligned
indicates there are still many lists sized by NR_CPUS.
