Subject: [patch] kmalloc_percpu -- 1 of 2

Subject: Re: [patch] kmalloc_percpu -- 2 of 2

Here's a 2.5.50 version of kmalloc_percpu originally submitted by Dipankar.
This one incorporates Rusty's suggestions to rearrange code and sync
up with its static counterpart. This version needs exposure of malloc_sizes
in order to move the interfaces to percpu.c from slab.c (kmalloc_percpu and
kfree_percpu donot have anything to do with the slab allocator itself).
First of the two patches is to expose the malloc_sizes and the second
one is the actual allocator. I'll follow this up with patchsets to enable
networking mibs use kmalloc_percpu. We'll have to use kmalloc_percpu
for mibs since DEFINE_PER_CPU won't work with modules (and ipv6 stuff
can be compiled in as modules)

Following is the 2 of 2 patches.

D: Name: kmalloc_percpu-2.5.50-1.patch
D: Description: Dynamic per-cpu kernel memory allocator
