Well I like this a bit better, but it's still in transition from
the old I2C style stuff over to a newer driver model based one.

Fix possible cpuset_sem ABBA deadlock if 'notify_on_release' set.
For a particular usage pattern, creating and destroying cpusets
fairly frequently using notify_on_release, on a very large system,
this deadlock can be seen every few days. If you are not using the
cpuset notify_on_release feature,
OK. Fixed this one myself :-), I had misunderstood the
MIPS timer stuff and thus the kernel wasn't
scheduling.

kcalloc() doesn't do much more than calling kzalloc(), and gcc has
better optimizing opportunities when it's inlined.
The result of this patch with a fulll kernel compile (roughly equivalent
to "make allyesconfig") shows a minimal size improvement:

Use wait_event() instead of the deprecated sleep_on(). In all
replacements, wait_event() expects the condition to *stop* on, so the existing
conditional is negated and passed as the parameter. I am not sure if these
