* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux-2.6-for-linus: fix spinlock recursion in hvc_console stop_machine: remove unused variable modules: extend initcall_debug functionality to the module loader export virtio_rng.h lguest: use get_user_pages_fast() instead of get_user_pages() mm: Make generic weak get_user_pages_fast and EXPORT_GPL it lguest: don't set MAC address for guest unless specified
