+ * mm/percpu-km.c - kernel memory based chunk allocation
+ *
+ * Copyright (C) 2010		SUSE Linux Products GmbH
+ * Copyright (C) 2010		Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
+ *
+ * This file is released under the GPLv2.
+ *
+ * Chunks are allocated as a contiguous kernel memory using gfp
+ * allocation.  This is to be used on nommu architectures.
+ *
+ * To use percpu-km,
+ *
+ * - define CONFIG_NEED_PER_CPU_KM from the arch Kconfig.
+ *
+ * - CONFIG_NEED_PER_CPU_PAGE_FIRST_CHUNK must not be defined.  It's
+ *   not compatible with PER_CPU_KM.  EMBED_FIRST_CHUNK should work
+ *   fine.
+ *
+ * - NUMA is not supported.  When setting up the first chunk,
+ *   @cpu_distance_fn should be NULL or report all CPUs to be nearer
+ *   than or at LOCAL_DISTANCE.
+ *
+ * - It's best if the chunk size is power of two multiple of
+ *   PAGE_SIZE.  Because each chunk is allocated as a contiguous
+ *   kernel memory block using alloc_pages(), memory will be wasted if
+ *   chunk size is not aligned.  percpu-km code will whine about it.
