Ok, one more in the series towards final 2.6.13.
This one is small enough that both shortlog and diffstat fit comfortably:
no big architecture updates or anything like that. Some input, x86-64 and
ppc updates, and various fairly small fixes in random places.
Some reverts back to 2.6.12

A kernel BUG() is triggered by a call to set_mempolicy() with a negative first

This is because the mode is declared as an int, and the validity check doesnt

In the interest of CC'ing everyone here's another patch .
This checks for wake_up_process() calls inside was preempt off sections.
So if it was a spinlock , and you call wake_up_process() it will trigger
a warning.. These are problematic cause in RT the wake_up_process() (if
it's an RT task)

well if it's somewhat larger than a trivial fix then it would definitely
be useful to always Cc: lkml. Trivial fixes can go to lkml too, just in

No need to enforce_max_cpus when hotplug code is enabled. This
nukes out cpu_present_map and cpu_possible_map making it impossible to add
new cpus in the system.

the use of non-shortcut version of routines breaking CPU hotplug. The option
to select this via cmdline also is deleted with the physflat patch, hence
directly placing this code under CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU.
We dont want to use broadcast mode IPI's when hotplug is enabled. This causes
bad effects in
