Merge tag 'arc-v3.11-rc1-part1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vgupta/arc

Pull first batch of ARC changes from Vineet Gupta:
 "There's a second bunch to follow next week - which depends on commits
  on other trees (irq/net).  I'd have preferred the accompanying ARC
  change via respective trees, but it didn't workout somehow.

  Highlights of changes:

   - Continuation of ARC MM changes from 3.10 including

       zero page optimization
       Setting pagecache pages dirty by default
       Non executable stack by default
       Reducing dcache flushes for aliasing VIPT config

   - Long overdue rework of pt_regs machinery - removing the unused word
     gutters and adding ECR register to baseline (helps cleanup lot of
     low level code)

   - Support for ARC gcc 4.8

   - Few other preventive fixes, cosmetics, usage of Kconfig helper..

  The diffstat is larger than normal primarily because of arcregs.h
  header split as well as beautification of macros in entry.h"
