Subject: Re: [patch 03/20] padata: Make padata_alloc() static

I rather like this option of padata, which, since it lives in
kernel/padata.c and linux/padata.h, should be generic and useful for
other components. Seems like the ability to allocate it for a
particular set of worker CPUs and callback CPUs could be useful down
the line. Would rather not see it become static.
