Subject: [PATCH] cpuset: Rework sched domains and CPU hotplug handling (2.6.27-rc1)

This is an updated version of my previous cpuset patch:
  "Make rebuild_sched_domains() usable from any context (take 2)"
It's been merged with the latest cpuset changes in mainline.

rebuild_sched_domains() is the only way to rebuild sched domains
correctly based on the current cpuset settings. What this means
is that we need to be able to call it from different contexts,
like cpu hotplug for example.
Also latest scheduler code in -tip now calls rebuild_sched_domains()
directly from functions like arch_reinit_sched_domains().

In order to support that properly we need to rework cpuset locking
rules to avoid circular depencies, which is what this patch does.
New lock nesting rules are explained in the comments.
We can now safely call rebuild_sched_domains() from virtually any
context. The only requirement is that it needs to be called under
get_online_cpus(). This allows cpu hotplug handlers and the scheduler
to call rebuild_sched_domains() directly.

The rest of the cpuset code now offloads sched domains rebuilds to
the single threaded workqueue. As suggested by both Paul J. and Paul M.

This version of the patch addresses comments from the previous review.
I fixed all miss-formated comments and trailing spaces.
__rebuild_sched_domains() has been renamed to async_rebuild_sched_domains().

I also factored out the code that builds domain masks and split up CPU and
memory hotplug handling. This was needed to simplify locking, to avoid unsafe
access to the cpu_online_map from mem hotplug handler, and in general to make
things cleaner.

The patch passes moderate testing (building kernel with -j 16, creating &
removing domains and bring cpus off/online at the same time) on the
quad-core2 based machine.
It passes lockdep checks, even with preemptable RCU enabled.
This time I also tested in with suspend/resume path and everything is working
as expected.
