Merge branch 'akpm' (Andrew's patch-bomb)
Merge third batch of patches from Andrew Morton: - Some MM stragglers - core SMP library cleanups (on_each_cpu_mask) - Some IPI optimisations - kexec - kdump - IPMI - the radix-tree iterator work - various other misc bits. "That'll do for -rc1. I still have ~10 patches for 3.4, will send those along when they've baked a little more." * emailed from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: (35 commits) backlight: fix typo in tosa_lcd.c crc32: add help text for the algorithm select option mm: move hugepage test examples to tools/testing/selftests/vm mm: move slabinfo.c to tools/vm mm: move page-types.c from Documentation to tools/vm selftests/Makefile: make `run_tests' depend on `all' selftests: launch individual selftests from the main Makefile radix-tree: use iterators in find_get_pages* functions radix-tree: rewrite gang lookup using iterator radix-tree: introduce bit-optimized iterator fs/proc/namespaces.c: prevent crash when ns_entries[] is empty nbd: rename the nbd_device variable from lo to nbd pidns: add reboot_pid_ns() to handle the reboot syscall sysctl: use bitmap library functions ipmi: use locks on watchdog timeout set on reboot ipmi: simplify locking ipmi: fix message handling during panics ipmi: use a tasklet for handling received messages ipmi: increase KCS timeouts ipmi: decrease the IPMI message transaction time in interrupt mode ...

+/*
+ * hugepage-shm:
+ *
+ * Example of using huge page memory in a user application using Sys V shared
+ * memory system calls. In this example the app is requesting 256MB of
+ * memory that is backed by huge pages. The application uses the flag
+ * SHM_HUGETLB in the shmget system call to inform the kernel that it is
+ * requesting huge pages.
+ *
+ * For the ia64 architecture, the Linux kernel reserves Region number 4 for
+ * huge pages. That means that if one requires a fixed address, a huge page
+ * aligned address starting with 0x800000... will be required. If a fixed
+ * address is not required, the kernel will select an address in the proper
+ * range.
+ * Other architectures, such as ppc64, i386 or x86_64 are not so constrained.
+ *
+ * Note: The default shared memory limit is quite low on many kernels,
+ * you may need to increase it via:
+ *
+ * echo 268435456 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
+ *
+ * This will increase the maximum size per shared memory segment to 256MB.
+ * The other limit that you will hit eventually is shmall which is the
+ * total amount of shared memory in pages. To set it to 16GB on a system
+ * with a 4kB pagesize do:
+ *
+ * echo 4194304 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmall
