    Pull NMI backtrace update from Russell King:
     "These changes convert the x86 NMI handling to be a library
      implementation which other architectures can make use of.  Thomas
      Gleixner has reviewed and tested these changes, and wishes me to send
      these rather than taking them through the tip tree.
    
      The final patch in the set adds an initial implementation using this
      infrastructure to ARM, even though it doesn't send the IPI at "NMI"
      level.  Patches are in progress to add the ARM equivalent of NMI, but
      we still need the IRQ-level fallback for systems where the "NMI" isn't
      available due to secure firmware denying access to it"
    
    * 'nmi' of git://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/linux-arm:
      ARM: add basic support for on-demand backtrace of other CPUs
      nmi: x86: convert to generic nmi handler
      nmi: create generic NMI backtrace implementation
