asm-generic: merge branch 'master' of torvalds/linux-2.6
Fixes a merge conflict against the x86 tree caused by a fix to atomic.h which I renamed to atomic_long.h. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

+ Say Y here if you want to enable the memory leak
+ detector. The memory allocation/freeing is traced in a way
+ similar to the Boehm's conservative garbage collector, the
+ difference being that the orphan objects are not freed but
+ only shown in /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak. Enabling this
+ feature will introduce an overhead to memory
+ allocations. See Documentation/kmemleak.txt for more
+ details.
+
+ In order to access the kmemleak file, debugfs needs to be
+ mounted (usually at /sys/kernel/debug).
