Merge branch 'linus' into core/iommu

Merge reason: This branch was on an -rc5 base so pull almost-2.6.30
              to resync with the latest upstream fixes and make sure
              the combination works fine.

+Description:

+                internal state of the SLUB allocator for each cache.  Certain
+                files may be modified to change the behavior of the cache (and
+                any cache it aliases, if any).
