The patch (as824b) makes percpu_free() ignore NULL arguments, as one would
expect for a deallocation routine. (Note that free_percpu is #defined as
percpu_free in include/linux/percpu.h.) A few callers are updated to remove
now-unneeded tests for NULL. A few other callers already seem to assume
that passing a NULL pointer to percpu_free() is okay!
The patch also removes an unnecessary NULL check in percpu_depopulate().

Only the process notifier needs it, and it can set it manually.

It's too large to inline. Additionally clean it up, by fast pathing
the likely path.

This adds a new timestamp message to blktrace, giving the timeofday when
we starting tracing. This helps user space correlate block trace events
with eg an application strace.
This requires a (compatible) update to blkparse. The changed blkparse
is still able to process traces generated by older kernels, and older
versions of blkparse should silently ignore the new records (because
they have a pid of 0).

As people often look for the copyright in files to see who to mail,
update the link to a neutral one.

This patch kills a few lines of code in blktrace by making use of
on_each_cpu().

The following patches reduce the size of the VFS inode structure by 28 bytes
on a UP x86. (It would be more on an x86_64 system). This is a 10% reduction
in the inode size on a UP kernel that is configured in a production mode
(i.e., with no spinlock or other debugging functions enabled; if you want to
save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is
disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat
in the VFS inode structure).
This patch:
The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union,
which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been
using the void pointer. Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with
a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer. This is just a
cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where
the union will actually be used.

It should be toggling the same bit on and off, fix it up.
