Add alloc_cpumask_var_node.  This will be needed in x86 code to
allocate the domain and old_domain cpumasks on the same node as
where the containing irq_cfg struct is allocated.

Additional documentation added to all the alloc_cpumask and free_cpumask
functions.

For submission via linux-next.

Hi Mike,

Just some simple comments.

So if !slab_is_available() and CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS is set, we get
two stack dumps?

Hmm, even the simplest changes can go awry... ;-)

Umm, you're right, one message should suffice... ;-)

Here's one place I discovered it in testing:

[    0.000000] Initializing CPU#0

The message clued me into the fact that the function was allocating
early and needed to be an alloc_bootmem_cpumask_var().

Will fix it up and resend.

Subject: cpumask: add alloc_cpumask_var_node V2

V2: Fix syntax errors in function comments.
    Display only one error message when !slab_is_available.
    Add nop inline alloc_cpumask_var_node() for !SMP,
    Fix EXPORT_SYMBOL for alloc_cpumask_var_node.

Add alloc_cpumask_var_node.  This will be needed in x86 code to
allocate the domain and old_domain cpumasks on the same node as
where the containing irq_cfg struct is allocated.

Additional documentation added to all the alloc_cpumask and free_cpumask
functions.

OK, this is understandable.  If you don't mind I'll split this patch
into documentation and node patches separately.

Since kmalloc(size, gfp) == kmalloc_node(size, gfp, -1), I think
we can change this to implement alloc_cpumask_var() in terms of
alloc_cpumask_var_node(..., numa_node_id()).

Here's what I ended up with:

Add alloc_cpumask_var_node()

This will be needed in x86 code to allocate the domain and old_domain
cpumasks on the same node as where the containing irq_cfg struct is
allocated.
