[patch] kmalloc_percpu -- 1 of 2

[Ravikiran G Thirumalai <kiran@in.ibm.com>]

Here's a 2.5.50 version of kmalloc_percpu originally submitted by Dipankar.  
This one incorporates Rusty's suggestions to rearrange code and sync 
up with its static counterpart. This version needs exposure of malloc_sizes 
in order to move the interfaces to percpu.c from slab.c (kmalloc_percpu and
kfree_percpu donot have anything to do with the slab allocator itself).
First of the two patches is to expose the malloc_sizes and the second
one is the actual allocator.  I'll follow this up with patchsets to enable 
networking mibs use kmalloc_percpu. We'll have to use kmalloc_percpu
for mibs since DEFINE_PER_CPU won't work with modules (and ipv6 stuff
can be compiled in as modules)

Following is the 1 of 2 patches.
