    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull livepatching updates from Jiri Kosina:
    
     - remove of our own implementation of architecture-specific relocation
       code and leveraging existing code in the module loader to perform
       arch-dependent work, from Jessica Yu.
    
       The relevant patches have been acked by Rusty (for module.c) and
       Heiko (for s390).
    
     - live patching support for ppc64le, which is a joint work of Michael
       Ellerman and Torsten Duwe.  This is coming from topic branch that is
       share between livepatching.git and ppc tree.
    
     - addition of livepatching documentation from Petr Mladek
