Impact: Reduce future memory usage, use new cpumask API.

(Eventually, cpumask_var_t will be allocated based on nr_cpu_ids, not NR_CPUS).

Convert kernel trace functions to use struct cpumask API:
1) Use cpumask_copy/cpumask_test_cpu/for_each_cpu.
2) Use cpumask_var_t and alloc_cpumask_var/free_cpumask_var everywhere.
3) Use on_each_cpu instead of playing with current-&gt;cpus_allowed.

* 'timers-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip:
  hrtimers: fix warning in kernel/hrtimer.c
  x86: make sure we really have an hpet mapping before using it
  x86: enable HPET on Fujitsu u9200
  linux/timex.h: cleanup for userspace
  posix-timers: simplify de_thread()-&gt;exit_itimers() path
  posix-timers: check -&gt;it_signal instead of -&gt;it_pid to validate the timer
  posix-timers: use "struct pid*" instead of "struct task_struct*"
  nohz: suppress needless timer reprogramming
  clocksource, acpi_pm.c: put acpi_pm_read_slow() under CONFIG_PCI
  nohz: no softirq pending warnings for offline cpus
  hrtimer: removing all ur callback modes, fix
  hrtimer: removing all ur callback modes, fix hotplug
  hrtimer: removing all ur callback modes
  x86: correct link to HPET timer specification
  rtc-cmos: export second NVRAM bank

Fixed up conflicts in sound/drivers/pcsp/pcsp.c and sound/core/hrtimer.c

Impact: cleanup

This patch factors out common code from multiple tracers into a
tracing_reset_online_cpus() function and converts the tracers to use it.

Impact: cleanup, move all hrtimer processing into hardirq context

This is an attempt at removing some of the hrtimer complexity by
reducing the number of callback modes to 1.

This means that all hrtimer callback functions will be ran from HARD-irq
context.

I went through all the 30 odd hrtimer callback functions in the kernel
and saw only one that I'm not quite sure of, which is the one in
net/can/bcm.c - hence I'm CC-ing the folks responsible for that code.

Furthermore, the hrtimer core now calls callbacks directly with IRQs
disabled in case you try to enqueue an expired timer. If this timer is a
periodic timer (which should use hrtimer_forward() to advance its time)
then it might be possible to end up in an inf. recursive loop due to the
fact that hrtimer_forward() doesn't round up to the next timer
granularity, and therefore keeps on calling the callback - obviously
this needs a fix.

Aside from that, this seems to compile and actually boot on my dual core
test box - although I'm sure there are some bugs in, me not hitting any
makes me certain :-)

Impact: extend the -&gt;init() method with the ability to fail

This bring a way to know if the initialization of a tracer successed.
A tracer must return 0 on success and a traditional error (ie:
-ENOMEM) if it fails.

If a tracer fails to init, it is free to print a detailed warn. The
tracing api will not and switch to a new tracer will just return the
error from the init callback.

Note: this will be used for the return tracer.

Impact: per CPU hrtimers can be migrated from a dead CPU

The hrtimer code has no knowledge about per CPU timers, but we need to
prevent the migration of such timers and warn when such a timer is
active at migration time.

Explicitely mark the timers as per CPU and use a more understandable
mode descriptor for the interrupts safe unlocked callback mode, which
is used by hrtimer_sleeper and the scheduler code.
