Subject: [GIT PULL] cpuset changes for 3.9-rc1

Hello, Linus.

This is cpuset changes for 3.9-rc1.

* Synchornization has seen a lot of changes with focus on decoupling
  cpuset synchronization from cgroup internal locking.  After this
  change, there only remain a couple of mostly trivial dependencies on
  cgroup_lock outside cgroup core proper.  cgroup_lock is scheduled to
  be unexported in this devel cycle.  This will finally remove the
  fragile locking order around cgroup (cgroup locking wants to /
  should be one of the outermost but yet has been acquired from deep
  inside individual controllers).

* At this point, Li is most knowlegeable with cpuset and taking over
  the maintainership of cpuset.

This depends on cgroup_rightmost_descendant() implemented in
cgroup/for-3.9 and this pull request assumes that cgroup/for-3.9 is
already pulled in.

The changes are available in the git repository at:
