   # HEAD: 0cad93c3453fc9d11692d3924ac3a520821bbf64 debugobjects: Improve variable naming

A number of scalability improvements, by Waimang Long.

 Thanks,

	Ingo

------------------>
Waiman Long (4):
      debugobjects: Track number of kmem_cache_alloc/kmem_cache_free done
      debugobjects: Scale thresholds with # of CPUs
      debugobjects: Reduce contention on the global pool_lock
      debugobjects: Improve variable naming
