8ef8286689 [PATCH] slab: reduce size of alien cache to cover only possible nodes
The alien cache is a per cpu per node array allocated for every slab on the
system.  Currently we size this array for all nodes that the kernel does
support.  For IA64 this is 1024 nodes.  So we allocate an array with 1024
objects even if we only boot a system with 4 nodes.

This patch uses "nr_node_ids" to determine the number of possible nodes
supported by a hardware configuration and only allocates an alien cache
sized for possible nodes.

The initialization of nr_node_ids occurred too late relative to the bootstrap
of the slab allocator and so I moved the setup_nr_node_ids() into
free_area_init_nodes().

53b8a315b7 [PATCH] Convert highest_possible_processor_id to nr_cpu_ids
We frequently need the maximum number of possible processors in order to
allocate arrays for all processors.  So far this was done using
highest_possible_processor_id().  However, we do need the number of
processors not the highest id.  Moreover the number was so far dynamically
calculated on each invokation.  The number of possible processors does not
change when the system is running.  We can therefore calculate that number
once.

74c7aa8b85 [PATCH] Replace highest_possible_node_id() with nr_node_ids
highest_possible_node_id() is currently used to calculate the last possible
node idso that the network subsystem can figure out how to size per node
arrays.

I think having the ability to determine the maximum amount of nodes in a
system at runtime is useful but then we should name this entry
correspondingly, it should return the number of node_ids, and the the value
needs to be setup only once on bootup.  The node_possible_map does not
change after bootup.

This patch introduces nr_node_ids and replaces the use of
highest_possible_node_id().  nr_node_ids is calculated on bootup when the
page allocators pagesets are initialized.

b446b60e4e [PATCH] rework reserved major handling
Several people have reported failures in dynamic major device number handling
due to the recent changes in there to avoid handing out the local/experimental
majors.

Rolf reports that this is due to a gcc-4.1.0 bug.

The patch refactors that code a lot in an attempt to provoke the compiler into
behaving.

This patch provides code paths which allow the natsemi driver to use the
external MII port on the chip but ignore any PHYs that may be attached to it.
The link state will be left as it was when the driver started and can be
configured via ethtool.  Any PHYs that are present can be accessed via the MII
ioctl()s.

This is useful for systems where the device is connected without a PHY
or where either information or actions outside the scope of the driver
are required in order to use the PHYs.

function pointers. This patch splits the two types of data and
allows simplifcation of some code.

37ce69a57f backlight: Rework backlight/fb interaction simplifying, lots
fb_info->bl_mutex is badly thought out and the backlight class doesn't
need it if the framebuffer/backlight register/unregister order is
consistent, particularly after the backlight locking fixes.

Fix the drivers to use the order:

backlight_device_register()
register_framebuffer()
unregister_framebuffer()
backlight_device_unregister()

and turn bl_mutex into a lock for the bl_curve data only.

b5c6916b31 backlight: Remove unneeded backlight update_status calls
The backlight core listens for blanking events and triggers a
backlight_update_status call so these extra calls are not
needed and can be removed.

85a3a9aa69 backlight: Remove uneeded update_status call from chipsfb.c
Remove uneeded update_status call from chipsfb.c since the
backlight core now receives software blanking notifications
too.

994efacdf9 backlight/fbcon: Add FB_EVENT_CONBLANK
The backlight class wants notification whenever the console is blanked
but doesn't get this when hardware blanking fails and software blanking
is used. Changing FB_EVENT_BLANK to report both would be a behaviour
change which could confuse the console layer so add a new event for
software blanking and have the backlight class listen for both.
