    sched: convert struct sched_group/sched_domain cpumask_ts to variable bitmaps

    Impact: (future) size reduction for large NR_CPUS.

    We move the 'cpumask' member of sched_group to the end, so when we
    kmalloc it we can do a minimal allocation: saves space for small
    nr_cpu_ids but big CONFIG_NR_CPUS.  Similar trick for 'span' in
    sched_domain.

    This isn't quite as good as converting to a cpumask_var_t, as some
    sched_groups are actually static, but it's safer: we don't have to
    figure out where to call alloc_cpumask_var/free_cpumask_var.

causes a panic in ia64 with NR_CPUS=1024.  Config attached though I think
it's the standard config file in:

	//git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6

Version: v2.6.28-5274-g597b0d2

Revert it and the problem goes away.

Thanks!
