Merge commit 'v2.6.30-rc3' into tracing/hw-branch-tracing

Conflicts:
	arch/x86/kernel/ptrace.c

Merge reason: fix the conflict above, and also pick up the CONFIG_BROKEN
              dependency change from upstream so that we can remove it
	      here.

 Salient features
 
-a. Enable control of both RSS (mapped) and Page Cache (unmapped) pages
+a. Enable control of Anonymous, Page Cache (mapped and unmapped) and
+   Swap Cache memory pages.
 b. The infrastructure allows easy addition of other types of memory to control
 c. Provides *zero overhead* for non memory controller users
 d. Provides a double LRU: global memory pressure causes reclaim from the
    global LRU; a cgroup on hitting a limit, reclaims from the per
    cgroup LRU
 
-NOTE: Swap Cache (unmapped) is not accounted now.

 Benefits and Purpose of the memory controller
