[3.12 1/3] Move kmallocXXX functions to common code

[Christoph Lameter]

The kmalloc* functions of all slab allcoators are similar now so
lets move them into slab.h. This requires some function naming changes
in slob.

As a results of this patch there is a common set of functions for
all allocators. Also means that kmalloc_large() is now available
in general to perform large order allocations that go directly
via the page allocator. kmalloc_large() can be substituted if
kmalloc() throws warnings because of too large allocations.

kmalloc_large() has exactly the same semantics as kmalloc but
can only used for allocations > PAGE_SIZE.

[3.12 3/3] seq_file: Use kmalloc_large for page sized allocation

[Christoph Lameter]

There is no point in using the slab allocation functions for
large page order allocation. Use kmalloc_large().

This fixes the warning about large allocs but it will still cause
large contiguous allocs that could fail because of memory fragmentation.

I already applied an earlier version that's now breaking linux-next.
Can you please send incremental fixes on top of slab/next?
I'd prefer not to rebase...

The introduction kmalloc_large() needs to happen in a
separate patch. What exactly is the benefit of adding the
new API, btw? Why don't people just use the page allocator
directly?

Ok, I rebased anyway and dropped the broken commits. I'm not
happy that this bundles kmalloc_large(), though, so it needs to
be taken out for me to merge this.

There is breakage because the first two patches have cross dependencies.
That is the main reason for the new patchset.

The advantage of kmalloc_large is that is has the same calling convention
as kmalloc. get_free_pages() etc require page addresses and return
unsigned longs meaning that conversions are required.

kmalloc_large functionality is already in use by slob and slub and
therefore is easy to make commonly available.

kmalloc_large is already available for slub. I just made it generally
available. slob large allocations now also fallback to kmalloc_large. We
could just disable it for SLAB?
