Merge branch 'for-3.4-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu
Pull two percpu fixes from Tejun Heo: "One adds missing KERN_CONT on split printk()s and the other makes the percpu allocator avoid using PMD_SIZE as atom_size on x86_32. Using PMD_SIZE led to vmalloc area exhaustion on certain configurations (x86_32 android) and the only cost of using PAGE_SIZE instead is static percpu area not being aligned to large page mapping." * 'for-3.4-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu: percpu, x86: don't use PMD_SIZE as embedded atom_size on 32bit percpu: use KERN_CONT in pcpu_dump_alloc_info()
