[PATCH 0/1] ipc/util.{c,h}: Use binary search for max_idx

[Manfred Spraul]

2nd version of the patch:
@Andrew: Could you add the patch to your mm tree, as candidate for
linux-next?

Note:
I have tried to remove the ids->max_idx cache entirely. Unfortunately,
this causes a significant slow-down of semstat(,,IPC_STAT):
   * no object allocated, no ipcmni_extended: +50%
   * no object allocated, with ipcmni_extended: +80%
   * 30 objects allocated, with large gaps, no ipcmni_extended:
           +350%
Thus I haven't removed ids->max_id.
