2.5.65-mjb1 (scalability / NUMA patchset)

[Martin J. Bligh]

The patchset contains mainly scalability and NUMA stuff, and anything 
else that stops things from irritating me. It's meant to be pretty stable, 
not so much a testing ground for new stuff.

I'd be very interested in feedback from anyone willing to test on any 
platform, however large or small.

Since 2.5.64-mjb5 (~ = changed, + = added, - = dropped)

Notes:  just a sync with 2.5.65 (dispose of -bk snapshot). Very, very boring.

EXTRA_TARGETS is obsolete in 2.5.

No, kerntypes.o should not be linked into the kernel image.

As Andrew pointed out this is wrong.
Use the following notation:
+extra-$(CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP)	+= kerntypes.o

This way of selecting extra .o files is the reason to have the "-y"
in extra-y.

Errrm ... oops. Sorry about that. Thanks for all the testing, and to
you, Sam, and Christoph for suggested fixes. I've rolled up these, and 
a couple of other issues I found below ... could you try this? Compiles
for NUMA-Q and UP at least. Any feedback on the fixes welcome too ...

Thanks,

When you have the final patch done, send it along so I can
incorporate it into our main CVS tree.  We went down this
kerntypes.o issue a while ago when trying to get into the
tree the first time.  Thanks.
