Wii, isn't this fun...! This is a resubmission of yesterday's patches
based on the x86.git/latest tree. Yes, it _is_ a maze of twisty litle
passages. ;-)

just to make patch dependencies clear: most of the patches here can be
applied to their base trees as-is, without depending on any other patch,
correct?

the only undeclared dependency i found was the cpumask_scnprintf_len()
patch - please prominently list dependencies in the changelog like this:

[ this patch depends on "cpumask: Add cpumask_scnprintf_len function" ]

Ahh, ok. I was under the assumption that an entire patchset would be
applied en-mass and only divided up by bi-sect debugging...?

The second patchset (cpumask) is highly incremental and I did it like
this to show memory gains (or losses). I tossed a few patches that
didn't have any overall goodness (and have a few more to help with
the memory footprint or performance in the queue.)

Thanks,
Mike
