Merge branch 'x86/platform' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip into stable/for-linus-3.7
* 'x86/platform' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (9690 commits) x86: Document x86_init.paging.pagetable_init() x86: xen: Cleanup and remove x86_init.paging.pagetable_setup_done() x86: Move paging_init() call to x86_init.paging.pagetable_init() x86: Rename pagetable_setup_start() to pagetable_init() x86: Remove base argument from x86_init.paging.pagetable_setup_start Linux 3.6-rc5 HID: tpkbd: work even if the new Lenovo Keyboard driver is not configured Remove user-triggerable BUG from mpol_to_str xen/pciback: Fix proper FLR steps. uml: fix compile error in deliver_alarm() dj: memory scribble in logi_dj Fix order of arguments to compat_put_time[spec|val] xen: Use correct masking in xen_swiotlb_alloc_coherent. xen: fix logical error in tlb flushing xen/p2m: Fix one-off error in checking the P2M tree directory. powerpc: Don't use __put_user() in patch_instruction powerpc: Make sure IPI handlers see data written by IPI senders powerpc: Restore correct DSCR in context switch powerpc: Fix DSCR inheritance in copy_thread() powerpc: Keep thread.dscr and thread.dscr_inherit in sync ...
