Re: [PATCH] Reduce stack usage in sys.c

Attempt to reduce stack usage in sys.c (linux-2.6.12-rc1-mm3). Stack
usage was noted using checkstack.pl. Specifically

Before patch
------------
sys_reboot - 256

After patch
-----------
sys_reboot - none (register usage only)

Along the way, wrap code to 80 column width and cleanup lock usage.

Your "cleanup lock usage" increases the number of lock_kernel() callsquite a bit, which is not really a cleanup but simply bloat.

Seperate out your patches; don't sneak these supposed-cleanups intostack uage patches.
