Merge branch 'topic/slab/earlyboot' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/penberg/slab-2.6

* 'topic/slab/earlyboot' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/penberg/slab-2.6:
  vgacon: use slab allocator instead of the bootmem allocator
  irq: use kcalloc() instead of the bootmem allocator
  sched: use slab in cpupri_init()
  sched: use alloc_cpumask_var() instead of alloc_bootmem_cpumask_var()
  memcg: don't use bootmem allocator in setup code
  irq/cpumask: make memoryless node zero happy
  x86: remove some alloc_bootmem_cpumask_var calling
  vt: use kzalloc() instead of the bootmem allocator
  sched: use kzalloc() instead of the bootmem allocator
  init: introduce mm_init()
  vmalloc: use kzalloc() instead of alloc_bootmem()
  slab: setup allocators earlier in the boot sequence
  bootmem: fix slab fallback on numa
  bootmem: use slab if bootmem is no longer available
