b) Soon we'll be allocating per-cpu areas only for possible CPUs. So with

I also switched voyager over to not use CPU_MASK_ALL in the non-CPU-hotplug

[PATCH] kexec: fix in free initrd when overlapped with crashkernel region
It is possible that the reserved crashkernel region can be overlapped with
initrd since the bootloader sets the initrd location. When the initrd
region is freed, the second kernel memory will not be contiguous. The
Kexec_load can cause an oops since there is no contiguous memory to write
the second kernel or this memory could be used in the first kernel itself
and may not be part of the dump. For example, on powerpc, the initrd is
located at 36MB and the crashkernel starts at 32MB. The kexec_load caused
panic since writing into non-allocated memory (after 36MB). We could see
the similar issue even on other archs.
One possibility is to move the initrd outside of crashkernel region. But,
the initrd region will be freed anyway before the system is up. This patch
fixes this issue and frees only regions that are not part of crashkernel
memory in case overlaps.

[PATCH] sched: remove smpnice
I don't think the code is quite ready, which is why I asked for Peter's
additions to also be merged before I acked it (although it turned out that
it still isn't quite ready with his additions either).
Basically I have had similar observations to Suresh in that it does not
play nicely with the rest of the balancing infrastructure (and raised
similar concerns in my review).
The samples (group of 4) I got for "maximum recorded imbalance" on a 2x2
SMP+HT Xeon are as follows:
Hackbench raw performance is down around 15% with smpnice (but that in
itself isn't a huge deal because it is just a benchmark). However, the
samples show that the imbalance passed into move_tasks is increased by
about a factor of 10-30. I think this would also go some way to explaining
latency blips turning up in the balancing code (though I haven't actually
measured that).
We'll probably have to revert this in the SUSE kernel.
