Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux-2.6-for-linus

* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux-2.6-for-linus:
  stop_machine: fix error code handling on multiple cpus
  stop_machine: use workqueues instead of kernel threads
  workqueue: introduce create_rt_workqueue
  Call init_workqueues before pre smp initcalls.
  Make panic= and panic_on_oops into core_params
  Make initcall_debug a core_param
  core_param() for genuinely core kernel parameters
  param: Fix duplicate module prefixes
  module: check kernel param length at compile time, not runtime
  Remove stop_machine during module load v2
  module: simplify load_module.
