Subject: [GIT PULL] percpu changes for v3.8

Hello, Linus.

Percpu changes for v3.8.  Nothing exciting here either.  Joonsoo's is
almost cosmetic.  Cyrill's patch fixes "percpu_alloc" early kernel
param handling so that the kernel doesn't crash when the parameter is
specified w/o any argument.

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu.git for-next

Thanks.

      mm, percpu: Make sure percpu_alloc early parameter has an argument

Joonsoo Kim (1):
      percpu: make pcpu_free_chunk() use pcpu_mem_free() instead of kfree()
