fls() takes an integer, so roundup_pow_of_two() is busted for ulongs larger
than 2^32-1.

Fix this by implementing and using fls_long().

(Why does roundup_pow_of_two() return a long?)

(Why is roundup_pow_of_two() __attribute_const__ whereas long_log2() is
__attribute_pure__?)

(Why does long_log2() suck so much?  Because we were missing fls_long()?)

Attempt to fix the problem wherein people's oops reports scroll off the screen
due to repeated oopsing or to oopses on other CPUs.

If this happens the user can reboot with the `pause_on_oops=<seconds>' option.
It will allow the first oopsing CPU to print an oops record just a single
time.  Second oopsing attempts, or oopses on other CPUs will cause those CPUs
to enter a tight loop until the specified number of seconds have elapsed.

The patch implements the infrastructure generically in the expectation that
architectures other than x86 will find it useful.

AMD SimNow!'s JIT doesn't like them at all in the guest. For distribution
installation it's easiest if it's a boot time option.

Also I moved the variable to a more appropiate place and make
it independent from sysctl

And marked __read_mostly which it is.

There are errors and inconsistency in the display of NIP6 strings.

There are errors and inconsistency in the display of NIPQUAD strings too.
	ie: net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_ftp.c

This patch:
	adds NIP6_FMT to kernel.h
	changes all code to use NIP6_FMT
	fixes net/ipv6/ip6_flowlabel.c
	adds NIPQUAD_FMT to kernel.h
	fixes net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_ftp.c
	changes a few uses of "%u.%u.%u.%u" to NIPQUAD_FMT for symmetry to NIP6_FMT

Convert to proper kernel-doc format.

Some have extra blank lines (not allowed immed.  after the function name)
or need blank lines (after all parameters).  Function summary must be only
one line.

Colon (":") in a function description does weird things (causes kernel-doc
to think that it's a new section head sadly).

Force a compiler error instead of a link error, because they are easier to
track down.  Idea stolen from code by Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com>

If the argument to BUILD_BUG_ON evaluates to non-zero the compiler will do:

This patch adds a new preemption model: 'Voluntary Kernel Preemption'.  The
3 models can be selected from a new menu:

            (X) No Forced Preemption (Server)
            ( ) Voluntary Kernel Preemption (Desktop)
            ( ) Preemptible Kernel (Low-Latency Desktop)

we still default to the stock (Server) preemption model.

Voluntary preemption works by adding a cond_resched()
(reschedule-if-needed) call to every might_sleep() check.  It is lighter
than CONFIG_PREEMPT - at the cost of not having as tight latencies.  It
represents a different latency/complexity/overhead tradeoff.

It has no runtime impact at all if disabled.  Here are size stats that show
how the various preemption models impact the kernel's size:

    text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 3618774  547184  179896 4345854  424ffe vmlinux.stock
 3626406  547184  179896 4353486  426dce vmlinux.voluntary   +0.2%
 3748414  548640  179896 4476950  445016 vmlinux.preempt     +3.5%

voluntary-preempt is +0.2% of .text, preempt is +3.5%.

This feature has been tested for many months by lots of people (and it's
also included in the RHEL4 distribution and earlier variants were in Fedora
as well), and it's intended for users and distributions who dont want to
use full-blown CONFIG_PREEMPT for one reason or another.

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!
