Merge phase #1 of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip
This merges phase 1 of the x86 tree, which is a collection of branches: x86/alternatives, x86/cleanups, x86/commandline, x86/crashdump, x86/debug, x86/defconfig, x86/doc, x86/exports, x86/fpu, x86/gart, x86/idle, x86/mm, x86/mtrr, x86/nmi-watchdog, x86/oprofile, x86/paravirt, x86/reboot, x86/sparse-fixes, x86/tsc, x86/urgent and x86/vmalloc and as Ingo says: "these are the easiest, purely independent x86 topics with no conflicts, in one nice Octopus merge". * 'x86-v28-for-linus-phase1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip: (147 commits) x86: mtrr_cleanup: treat WRPROT as UNCACHEABLE x86: mtrr_cleanup: first 1M may be covered in var mtrrs x86: mtrr_cleanup: print out correct type v2 x86: trivial printk fix in efi.c x86, debug: mtrr_cleanup print out var mtrr before change it x86: mtrr_cleanup try gran_size to less than 1M, v3 x86: mtrr_cleanup try gran_size to less than 1M, cleanup x86: change MTRR_SANITIZER to def_bool y x86, debug printouts: IOMMU setup failures should not be KERN_ERR x86: export set_memory_ro and set_memory_rw x86: mtrr_cleanup try gran_size to less than 1M x86: mtrr_cleanup prepare to make gran_size to less 1M x86: mtrr_cleanup safe to get more spare regs now x86_64: be less annoying on boot, v2 x86: mtrr_cleanup hole size should be less than half of chunk_size, v2 x86: add mtrr_cleanup_debug command line x86: mtrr_cleanup optimization, v2 x86: don't need to go to chunksize to 4G x86_64: be less annoying on boot x86, olpc: fix endian bug in openfirmware workaround ...
