    Merge misc patches from Andrew Morton:
    
     - the "misc" tree - stuff from all over the map
    
     - checkpatch updates
    
     - fatfs
    
     - kmod changes
    
     - procfs
    
     - cpumask
    
     - UML
    
     - kexec
    
     - mqueue
    
     - rapidio
    
     - pidns
    
     - some checkpoint-restore feature work.  Reluctantly.  Most of it
       delayed a release.  I'm still rather worried that we don't have a
       clear roadmap to completion for this work.
