Merge branch 'for-2.6.39' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu
* 'for-2.6.39' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu:
percpu, x86: Add arch-specific this_cpu_cmpxchg_double() support
percpu: Generic support for this_cpu_cmpxchg_double()
alpha: use L1_CACHE_BYTES for cacheline size in the linker script
percpu: align percpu readmostly subsection to cacheline
Fix up trivial conflict in arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S due to the
percpu alignment having changed ("x86: Reduce back the alignment of the
per-CPU data section")
