This applied nicely to Linus' tree so I've moved to testing atop that 
rather than slub/lockless on the same netperf testing environment as the 
slab vs. slub comparison.  The benchmarking completed without error and 
here are the results:

	threads		before		after
	 16		75509		75443  (-0.1%)
	 32		118121		117558 (-0.5%)
	 48		149997		149514 (-0.3%)
	 64		185216		186772 (+0.8%)
	 80		221195		222612 (+0.6%)
	 96		239732		241089 (+0.6%)
	112		261967		266643 (+1.8%)
	128		272946		281794 (+3.2%)
	144		279202		289421 (+3.7%)
	160		285745		297216 (+4.0%)

So the patchset certainly looks helpful, especially if it improves other 
benchmarks as well.

I'll review the patches individually, starting with the cleanup patches 
that can hopefully be pushed quickly while we discuss per-cpu partial 
lists further.
