Merge remote branch 'origin' into secretlab/next-devicetree

Merging in current state of Linus' tree to deal with merge conflicts and
build failures in vio.c after merge.

Conflicts:
	drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-cpm.c
	drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-mpc.c
	drivers/net/gianfar.c

Also fixed up one line in arch/powerpc/kernel/vio.c to use the
correct node pointer.

+ * DESCRIPTION: Called from acpi_walk_namespace. Expects each object to be a

+ *              number and mark the GPE as a CAN_WAKE GPE. Allows a

+ *
+ * If walk_info->execute_by_owner_id is TRUE, we only execute _PRWs with that
+ *    owner.
+ * If walk_info->gpe_device is NULL, we execute every _PRW found. Otherwise,
+ *    we only execute _PRWs that refer to the input gpe_device.
