Pull smp hotplug cleanups from Thomas Gleixner:
"This series is merily a cleanup of code copied around in arch/* and
not changing any of the real cpu hotplug horrors yet. I wish I'd had
something more substantial for 3.5, but I underestimated the lurking
horror..."
Fix up trivial conflicts in arch/{arm,sparc,x86}/Kconfig and
arch/sparc/include/asm/thread_info_32.h
* 'smp-hotplug-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (79 commits)

score: Use common threadinfo allocator
sh-use-common-threadinfo-allocator
mn10300: Use common threadinfo allocator
powerpc: Use common threadinfo allocator

fork: Provide kmemcache based thread_info allocator
tile: Use common threadinfo allocator
fork: Provide weak arch_release_[task_struct|thread_info] functions
fork: Move thread info gfp flags to header
fork: Remove the weak insanity
sh: Remove cpu_idle_wait()
...
The scheduler depends on receiving the CPU_STARTING notification, without
which we end up into a lot of trouble. So add the missing call to
notify_cpu_starting() in the bringup code.

Adapt to the new API.
We plan to remove old cpumask APIs later. Thus this patch converts them
into the new one.

For future rework of try_to_wake_up() we'd like to push part of that
function onto the CPU the task is actually going to run on.
In order to do so we need a generic callback from the existing scheduler IPI.
This patch introduces such a generic callback: scheduler_ipi() and
implements it as a NOP.
BenH notes: PowerPC might use this IPI on offline CPUs under rare conditions!

Implement the Panasonic MN10300 AM34 CPU subarch and implement SMP support for
MN10300. Also implement support for the MN2WS0060 processor and the ASB2364
evaluation board which are AM34 based.
