2.5.44-mm4

Having a few stability problems so most of the new things have been
removed.  Once this thing is working properly we can start moving
forward again.

If the people who had problem with -mm4 could please retest?  If
problems remain, please try popping off shpte-ng.patch.

Also be suspicious of CONFIG_PREEMPT=y.  For me, with preempt, smp
and spinlock debugging the kernel dies immediately doing an unlock
of already-unlocked kernel_flag when bringing up the first migration
thread.  That's on base 2.5.44.  May not be a preempt problem; could
be that preempt is simply exposing it.

 The NUMA driverfs interfaces from Matt Dobson.  Queued up in
 experimental/ too.  It all adds only a few hundred bytes to a
 non-NUMA build.
