No reason why m32r needs to use kmalloc to allocate 2 pages instead of
using the core allocator.

There is no functional difference. __get_free_pages() ends up calling
alloc_pages_node().
This also allocates only one page which matches THREAD_SIZE instead of
an extra page for nothing.

The only difference is the free_thread_info function, which frees
xstate.
Use the new arch_release_task_struct() function instead and switch
over to the core allocator.

Several architectures have their own kmemcache based thread allocator
because THREAD_SIZE is smaller than PAGE_SIZE. Add it to the core code
conditionally on THREAD_SIZE < PAGE_SIZE so the private copies can go.

These flags can be useful for extra allocations outside of the core
code.
Add __GFP_NOTRACK to them, so the archs which have kmemcheck do
not have to provide extra allocators just for that reason.

commit 771dae818 (powerpc/cpuidle: Add cpu_idle_wait() to allow
switching of idle routines) implemented cpu_idle_wait() for powerpc.
The changelog says:
"The equivalent routine for x86 is in arch/x86/kernel/process.c
but the powerpc implementation is different.":
Unfortunately the changelog is completely useless as it does not tell
_WHY_ it is different.
Aside of being different the implementation is patently wrong.
The rescheduling IPI is async. That means that there is no guarantee,
that the other cores have executed the IPI when cpu_idle_wait()
returns. But that's the whole purpose of this function: to guarantee
that no CPU uses the old idle handler anymore.
Use the smp_functional_call() based implementation, which fulfils the
requirements.
[ This code is going to replaced by a core version to remove all the
pointless copies in arch/*, but this one should go to stable ]

All archs define init_task in the same way (except ia64, but there is
no particular reason why ia64 cannot use the common version). Create a
generic instance so all archs can be converted over.
The config switch is temporary and will be removed when all archs are
converted over.
