It doesn't put the CPU into deeper sleep states, so it's better to use the standard
idle loop to save power. But allow to reenable it anyways for benchmarking.

Now that relocation of the VDSO for COMPAT_VDSO users is done at
runtime rather than compile time, it is possible to enable/disable
compat mode at runtime.
This patch allows you to enable COMPAT_VDSO mode with "vdso=2" on the
kernel command line, or via sysctl. (Switching on a running system
shouldn't be done lightly; any process which was relying on the compat
VDSO will be upset if it goes away.)
The COMPAT_VDSO config option still exists, but if enabled it just
makes vdso_enabled default to VDSO_COMPAT.
+From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>
Fix oops from i386-make-compat_vdso-runtime-selectable.patch.
Even mingetty at system startup finds it easy to trigger an oops
while reading /proc/PID/maps: though it has a good hold on the mm
itself, that cannot stop exit_mm() from resetting tsk->mm to NULL.
(It is usually show_map()'s call to get_gate_vma() which oopses,
and I expect we could change that to check priv->tail_vma instead;
but no matter, even m_start()'s call just after get_task_mm() is racy.)

Because the command line is increased to 2048 characters after 2.6.21, it's
not possible for boot loaders and userspace tools to determine the length
of the command line the kernel can understand. The benefit of knowing the
length is that users can be warned if the command line size is too long
which prevents surprise if things don't work after bootup.
This patch updates the boot protocol to contain a field called
"cmdline_size" that contain the length of the command line (excluding the
terminating zero).
The patch also adds missing fields (of protocol version 2.05) to the x86_64
setup code.

Extends the numa=fake x86_64 command-line option to split the remaining system
memory into nodes of fixed size. Any leftover memory is allocated to a final
node unless the command-line ends with a comma.
For example:
numa=fake=2*512,*128 gives two 512M nodes and the remaining system
memory is split into nodes of 128M each.
This is beneficial for systems where the exact size of RAM is unknown or not
necessarily relevant, but the size of the remaining nodes to be allocated is
known based on their capacity for resource management.

Extends the numa=fake x86_64 command-line option to allow for configurable
node sizes. These nodes can be used in conjunction with cpusets for coarse
memory resource management.
The old command-line option is still supported:
numa=fake=32 gives 32 fake NUMA nodes, ignoring the NUMA setup of the
actual machine.
But now you may configure your system for the node sizes of your choice:
numa=fake=2*512,1024,2*256
gives two 512M nodes, one 1024M node, two 256M nodes, and
the rest of system memory to a sixth node.
The existing hash function is maintained to support the various node sizes
that are possible with this implementation.
Each node of the same size receives roughly the same amount of available
pages, regardless of any reserved memory with its address range. The total
available pages on the system is calculated and divided by the number of equal
nodes to allocate. These nodes are then dynamically allocated and their
borders extended until such time as their number of available pages reaches
the required size.
Configurable node sizes are recommended when used in conjunction with cpusets
for memory control because it eliminates the overhead associated with scanning
the zonelists of many smaller full nodes on page_alloc().

Len Brown considers that an active by default fan control interface in
laptops may be too close to giving users enough rope. There is a good
chance he is quite correct on this, especially if someone decides to use
that interface in applets and users are not aware of its risks.
This patch adds a master switch to thinkpad-acpi that enables or disables
the entire fan-control feature as a module parameter: "fan_control". It
defaults to disabled. Set it to non-zero to enable fan control.
Also, the patch removes the expermiental status from fan control, since it
is stable enough to not be called experimental, and the master switch makes
it safe enough to do so.
