Subject[PATCH 3.13 062/120] numa: add a sysctl for numa_balancing
Date
3.13-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

commit 54a43d54988a3731d644fdeb7a1d6f46b4ac64c7 upstream.

Add a working sysctl to enable/disable automatic numa memory balancing
at runtime.

This allows us to track down performance problems with this feature and
is generally a good idea.

This was possible earlier through debugfs, but only with special
debugging options set. Also fix the boot message.
