Merge branch 'smp-hotplug-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull smp hotplug cleanups from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This series is merily a cleanup of code copied around in arch/* and
  not changing any of the real cpu hotplug horrors yet.  I wish I'd had
  something more substantial for 3.5, but I underestimated the lurking
  horror..."

Fix up trivial conflicts in arch/{arm,sparc,x86}/Kconfig and
arch/sparc/include/asm/thread_info_32.h

* 'smp-hotplug-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (79 commits)
  um: Remove leftover declaration of alloc_task_struct_node()
  task_allocator: Use config switches instead of magic defines
  sparc: Use common threadinfo allocator
  score: Use common threadinfo allocator
  sh-use-common-threadinfo-allocator
  mn10300: Use common threadinfo allocator
  powerpc: Use common threadinfo allocator
  mips: Use common threadinfo allocator
  hexagon: Use common threadinfo allocator
  m32r: Use common threadinfo allocator
  frv: Use common threadinfo allocator
  cris: Use common threadinfo allocator
  x86: Use common threadinfo allocator
  c6x: Use common threadinfo allocator
  fork: Provide kmemcache based thread_info allocator
  tile: Use common threadinfo allocator
  fork: Provide weak arch_release_[task_struct|thread_info] functions
  fork: Move thread info gfp flags to header
  fork: Remove the weak insanity
  sh: Remove cpu_idle_wait()
