Subject: [GIT PULL] Early boot SLAB for 2.6.31

Hi Linus,

Here are the core patches for enabling slab before the scheduler initializes
itself in the boot sequence. I added slab fallback support to the bootmem
allocator so that we don't need a flag day for switching to early slab.

I have tested this series on x86-64 with SLAB, SLUB, and SLOB. Note: the
following harmless warning appears at boot:

  [    0.000000] ------------[ cut here ]------------

I already have patches for that but they are against the -tip tree so I think
we ought to just merge this series to mainline and fix everything up in
subsystem trees for 2.6.31 proper.

The following changes since commit 07a2039b8eb0af4ff464efd3dfd95de5c02648c6:
  Linus Torvalds (1):
        Linux 2.6.30

are available in the git repository at:

  ssh://master.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/penberg/slab-2.6 for-linus

Pekka Enberg (3):
      bootmem: use slab if bootmem is no longer available
      slab: setup allocators earlier in the boot sequence
      vmalloc: use kzalloc() instead of alloc_bootmem()
