Subject: [RFC 0/2] /proc/sched_stat and /proc/sched_debug fail at 4096 

When running with 4096 cores attemping to read /proc/sched_stat and
/proc/sched_debug will fail with an ENOMEM condition.
On a sufficantly large systems the total amount of data is more then 4mb, so
it won't fit into a single buffer. 

Nathan Zimmer (2):
  procfs: /proc/sched_stat fails on very very large machines.
  procfs: /proc/sched_debug fails on very very large machines.
