    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull x86 irq updates from Ingo Molnar:
     "Here are the main changes in this tree:
    
       - Introduce x86-64 IRQ/exception/debug stack guard pages to detect
         stack overflows immediately and deterministically.
    
       - Clean up over a decade worth of cruft accumulated.
    
      The outcome of this should be more clear-cut faults/crashes when any
      of the low level x86 CPU stacks overflow, instead of silent memory
      corruption and sporadic failures much later on"
