Merge branch 'core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip
* 'core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip: (63 commits) stacktrace: provide save_stack_trace_tsk() weak alias rcu: provide RCU options on non-preempt architectures too printk: fix discarding message when recursion_bug futex: clean up futex_(un)lock_pi fault handling "Tree RCU": scalable classic RCU implementation futex: rename field in futex_q to clarify single waiter semantics x86/swiotlb: add default swiotlb_arch_range_needs_mapping x86/swiotlb: add default phys<->bus conversion x86: unify pci iommu setup and allow swiotlb to compile for 32 bit x86: add swiotlb allocation functions swiotlb: consolidate swiotlb info message printing swiotlb: support bouncing of HighMem pages swiotlb: factor out copy to/from device swiotlb: add arch hook to force mapping swiotlb: allow architectures to override phys<->bus<->phys conversions swiotlb: add comment where we handle the overflow of a dma mask on 32 bit rcu: fix rcutorture behavior during reboot resources: skip sanity check of busy resources swiotlb: move some definitions to header swiotlb: allow architectures to override swiotlb pool allocation ... Fix up trivial conflicts in arch/x86/kernel/Makefile arch/x86/mm/init_32.c include/linux/hardirq.h as per Ingo's suggestions.
