Merge branch 'akpm' (incoming from Andrew)
Merge third batch of fixes from Andrew Morton: "Most of the rest. I still have two large patchsets against AIO and IPC, but they're a bit stuck behind other trees and I'm about to vanish for six days. - random fixlets - inotify - more of the MM queue - show_stack() cleanups - DMI update - kthread/workqueue things - compat cleanups - epoll udpates - binfmt updates - nilfs2 - hfs - hfsplus - ptrace - kmod - coredump - kexec - rbtree - pids - pidns - pps - semaphore tweaks - some w1 patches - relay updates - core Kconfig changes - sysrq tweaks" * emailed patches from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: (109 commits) Documentation/sysrq: fix inconstistent help message of sysrq key ethernet/emac/sysrq: fix inconstistent help message of sysrq key sparc/sysrq: fix inconstistent help message of sysrq key powerpc/xmon/sysrq: fix inconstistent help message of sysrq key ARM/etm/sysrq: fix inconstistent help message of sysrq key power/sysrq: fix inconstistent help message of sysrq key kgdb/sysrq: fix inconstistent help message of sysrq key lib/decompress.c: fix initconst notifier-error-inject: fix module names in Kconfig kernel/sys.c: make prctl(PR_SET_MM) generally available UAPI: remove empty Kbuild files menuconfig: print more info for symbol without prompts init/Kconfig: re-order CONFIG_EXPERT options to fix menuconfig display kconfig menu: move Virtualization drivers near other virtualization options Kconfig: consolidate CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS relay: use macro PAGE_ALIGN instead of FIX_SIZE kernel/relay.c: move FIX_SIZE macro into relay.c kernel/relay.c: remove unused function argument actor drivers/w1/slaves/w1_ds2760.c: fix the error handling in w1_ds2760_add_slave() drivers/w1/slaves/w1_ds2781.c: fix the error handling in w1_ds2781_add_slave() ...
