      Pull ARM updates from Russell King:
      
       - Major clean-up of the L2 cache support code.  The existing mess was
         becoming rather unmaintainable through all the additions that others
         have done over time.  This turns it into a much nicer structure, and
         implements a few performance improvements as well.
      
       - Clean up some of the CP15 control register tweaks for alignment
         support, moving some code and data into alignment.c
      
       - DMA properties for ARM, from Santosh and reviewed by DT people.  This
         adds DT properties to specify bus translations we can't discover
         automatically, and to indicate whether devices are coherent.
      
       - Hibernation support for ARM
      
       - Make ftrace work with read-only text in modules
      
       - add suspend support for PJ4B CPUs
      
       - rework interrupt masking for undefined instruction handling, which
         allows us to enable interrupts earlier in the handling of these
         exceptions.
      
       - support for big endian page tables
      
       - fix stacktrace support to exclude stacktrace functions from the
         trace, and add save_stack_trace_regs() implementation so that kprobes
         can record stack traces.
      
       - Add support for the Cortex-A17 CPU.
      
       - Remove last vestiges of ARM710 support.
      
       - Removal of ARM "meminfo" structure, finally converting us solely to
         memblock to handle the early memory initialisation.

      Pull x86-64 espfix changes from Peter Anvin:
       "This is the espfix64 code, which fixes the IRET information leak as
        well as the associated functionality problem.  With this code applied,
        16-bit stack segments finally work as intended even on a 64-bit
        kernel.
      
        Consequently, this patchset also removes the runtime option that we
        added as an interim measure.
      
        To help the people working on Linux kernels for very small systems,
        this patchset also makes these compile-time configurable features"
