The conventional format for boolean attributes in sysfs is numeric ("0" or
"1" followed by new-line). Any boolean attribute can then be read and
written using a generic function. Using the strings "yes [no]", "[yes]
no" (read), "yes" and "no" (write) will frustrate this.

On no-mmu arch, there is a memleak during shmem test. The cause of this
memleak is ramfs_nommu_expand_for_mapping() added page refcount to 2
which makes iput() can't free that pages.
The simple test file is like this:
int main(void)
{
int i;
key_t k = ftok("/etc", 42);
for ( i=0; i<100; ++i) {
int id = shmget(k, 10000, 0644|IPC_CREAT);
if (id == -1) {
printf("shmget error\n");
}
if(shmctl(id, IPC_RMID, NULL ) == -1) {
printf("shm rm error\n");
return -1;
}
}
printf("run ok...\n");
return 0;
}
And the result:

After this patch the test result is:(no memleak anymore)

Commit 8a5ec0ba "Lockless (and preemptless) fastpaths for slub" makes use
of this_cpu_cmpxchg_double() which needs this_cpu_cmpxchg16b_emu() on
x86_64. Implementing cmpxchg16b emulation for UML would introduce too
much complexity. So just disable it.
