Having flush_tlb_mm->smp_flush_tlb_mm() send an IPI to every cpu
on the system is occasionally triggering spin_lock contention in
generic_smp_call_function_interrupt().
Follow x86 arch's lead and only sends IPIs to the cpus in mm->cpu_vm_mask.
Experiments with this change have shown significant improvement in this
contention issue.

We're weaning the core code off handing cpumask's around on-stack.
This introduces arch_send_call_function_ipi_mask().
We also take the chance to wean send_IPI_mask off the obsolescent
for_each_cpu_mask(): making it take the pointer seemed the most
natural way.

Making allmodconfig will break the current build. This patch shrinks
the per_cpu__shadow_flush_counts from 16k to 8k which frees enough space
to allow allmodconfig to successfully complete.

Fix indenting of switch statement to follow CodingStyle, and

This interface provides more flexible functionality for smp
infrastructure ... e.g. KVM frequently needs to operate on

Currently most of the per cpu data, which is accessed by different cpus,
has a ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp attribute. Move all this data to the
new per cpu shared data section: .data.percpu.shared_aligned.
This will seperate the percpu data which is referenced frequently by other
cpus from the local only percpu data.

Actually, on reflection I think that there is a good case for
keeping the options separate. I am thinking particularly of people
who want a very small crashdump kernel and thus don't want to compile
in kexec.
The patch below should fix things up so that all valid combinations of
KEXEC, CRASH_DUMP and VMCORE compile cleanly - VMCORE depends on
CRASH_DUMP which is why I said valid combinations. In a nutshell
it just untangles unrelated code and switches around a few defines.
Please note that it creats a new file, arch/ia64/kernel/crash_dump.c
This is in keeping with the i386 implementation.

In arch/ia64 change the explicit use of for-loops and NR_CPUS into the
general for_each_cpu() or for_each_online_cpu() constructs, as
appropriate. This widens the scope of potential future optimizations
of the general constructs, as well as takes advantage of the existing
optimizations of first_cpu() and next_cpu().

There's another problem shown up by Ingo's recent patch to make
smp_processor_id() complain if it's called with preemption enabled.
local_finish_flush_tlb_mm() calls activate_context() in a situation
where it could be rescheduled to another processor. This patch
disables preemption around the call.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
