Merge branch 'poll' into staging/for_v3.4
* poll: (5970 commits) poll: add poll_requested_events() and poll_does_not_wait() functions crc32: select an algorithm via Kconfig crc32: add self-test code for crc32c crypto: crc32c should use library implementation crc32: bolt on crc32c crc32: add note about this patchset to crc32.c crc32: optimize loop counter for x86 crc32: add slice-by-8 algorithm to existing code crc32: make CRC_*_BITS definition correspond to actual bit counts crc32: fix mixing of endian-specific types crc32: miscellaneous cleanups crc32: simplify unit test code crc32: move long comment about crc32 fundamentals to Documentation/ crc32: remove two instances of trailing whitespaces checkpatch: check for quoted strings broken across lines checkpatch: whitespace - add/remove blank lines checkpatch: warn on use of yield() checkpatch: add --strict tests for braces, comments and casts checkpatch: add [] to type extensions checkpatch: high precedence operators do not require additional parentheses in #defines ...
