Merge branch 'cpus4096' into core/percpu
Conflicts: arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.c arch/x86/kernel/tlb_32.c Merge it here because both the cpumask changes and the ongoing percpu work is touching the TLB code. The percpu changes take precedence, as they eliminate tlb_32.c altogether. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
