[PATCH] slab: fix handling of pages from foreign NUMA nodes
The numa slab allocator may allocate pages from foreign nodes onto the
lists for a particular node if a node runs out of memory. Inspecting the
slab->nodeid field will not reflect that the page is now in use for the
slabs of another node.
This patch fixes that issue by adding a node field to free_block so that
the caller can indicate which node currently uses a slab.
Also removes the check for the current node from kmalloc_cache_node since
the process may shift later to another node which may lead to an allocation
on another node than intended.

[PATCH] Driver Core: fis bus rescan devices race
bus_rescan_devices_helper() does not hold the dev->sem when it checks for
!dev->driver(). device_attach() holds the sem, but calls again
device_bind_driver() even when dev->driver is set.
What happens is that a first device_attach() call (module insertion time)
is on the way binding the device to a driver. Another thread calls
bus_rescan_devices(). Now when bus_rescan_devices_helper() checks for
dev->driver it is still NULL 'cos the the prior device_attach() is not yet
finished. But as soon as the first one releases the dev->sem the second
device_attach() tries to rebind the already bound device again.
device_bind_driver() does this blindly which leads to a corrupt
driver->klist_devices list (the device links itself, the head points to the
device). Later a call to device_release_driver() sets dev->driver to NULL
and breaks the link it has to itself on knode_driver. Rmmoding the driver
later calls driver_detach() which leads to an endless loop 'cos the list
head in klist_devices still points to the device. And since dev->driver is
NULL it's stuck with the same device forever. Boom. And rmmod hangs.
Very easy to reproduce with new-style pcmcia and a 16bit card. Just loop
modprobe <pcmcia-modules> ;cardctl eject; rmmod <card driver, pcmcia
modules>.
Easiest fix is to check if the device is already bound to a driver in
device_bind_driver(). This avoids the double binding.

[ARM] 2926/1: .proc.info - postfix section with .init for `make buildcheck`
Patch from Ben Dooks
The `make buildcheck` is erroneously reporting that the .proc.info
list is referencing items in the .init section as it is not itself
postfixed with .init

[ARM] 2925/3: earlyparam - postfix section with .init for `make buildcheck`
Patch from Ben Dooks
The `make buildcheck` is erroneously reporting that the earlyparam
list is referencing items in the .init section as it is not itself
postfixed with .init
Also, as per rmk's suggestion, rename the __early_param to
.early_param to bring it into line with everything else
