Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew Morton) into next

Merge more updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Most of the rest of MM.

   This includes "mark remap_file_pages syscall as deprecated" but the
   actual "replace remap_file_pages syscall with emulation" is held
   back.  I guess we'll need to work out when to pull the trigger on
   that one.

 - various minor cleanups to obscure filesystems

 - the drivers/rtc queue

 - hfsplus updates

 - ufs, hpfs, fatfs, affs, reiserfs

 - Documentation/

 - signals

 - procfs

 - cpu hotplug

 - lib/idr.c

 - rapidio

 - sysctl

 - ipc updates
