Merge branch 'akpm' (second patchbomb from Andrew Morton)

Merge more incoming from Andrew Morton:
 "Two new syscalls:

     memfd_create in "shm: add memfd_create() syscall"
     kexec_file_load in "kexec: implementation of new syscall kexec_file_load"

  And:

   - Most (all?) of the rest of MM

   - Lots of the usual misc bits

   - fs/autofs4

   - drivers/rtc

   - fs/nilfs

   - procfs

   - fork.c, exec.c

   - more in lib/

   - rapidio

   - Janitorial work in filesystems: fs/ufs, fs/reiserfs, fs/adfs,
     fs/cramfs, fs/romfs, fs/qnx6.

   - initrd/initramfs work

   - "file sealing" and the memfd_create() syscall, in tmpfs

   - add pci_zalloc_consistent, use it in lots of places

   - MAINTAINERS maintenance

   - kexec feature work"
