Linux Operating System Source Code: IBM Patches

 
Change Networking mibs to use kmalloc_percpu
Description:
This patchset is to enable networking mibs to use kmalloc_percpu instead
of the traditional padded NR_CPUS arrays.
 
Advantages:
1. Removes NR_CPUS bloat due to static definition
2. Can support node local allocation
3. Will work with modules
 
The changes have been split for ipv4, ipv6 and sctp.  We can later do away
with the __pad and associated logic duing proc reporting (in the mibs)
if this patchset is acceptable.
