Christoph Lameter 9dfc6e68bf SLUB: Use this_cpu operations in slub
Using per cpu allocations removes the needs for the per cpu arrays in the
kmem_cache struct. These could get quite big if we have to support systems
with thousands of cpus. The use of this_cpu_xx operations results in:

1. The size of kmem_cache for SMP configuration shrinks since we will only
   need 1 pointer instead of NR_CPUS. The same pointer can be used by all
   processors. Reduces cache footprint of the allocator.

2. We can dynamically size kmem_cache according to the actual nodes in the
   system meaning less memory overhead for configurations that may potentially
   support up to 1k NUMA nodes / 4k cpus.

3. We can remove the diddle widdle with allocating and releasing of
   kmem_cache_cpu structures when bringing up and shutting down cpus. The cpu
   alloc logic will do it all for us. Removes some portions of the cpu hotplug
   functionality.

4. Fastpath performance increases since per cpu pointer lookups and
   address calculations are avoided.
