Merge branch 'akpm' (Andrew's patch-bomb)

Merge misc patches from Andrew Morton:

 - the "misc" tree - stuff from all over the map

 - checkpatch updates

 - fatfs

 - kmod changes

 - procfs

 - cpumask

 - UML

 - kexec

 - mqueue

 - rapidio

 - pidns

 - some checkpoint-restore feature work.  Reluctantly.  Most of it
   delayed a release.  I'm still rather worried that we don't have a
   clear roadmap to completion for this work.

* emailed from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: (78 patches)
  kconfig: update compression algorithm info
  c/r: prctl: add ability to set new mm_struct::exe_file
  c/r: prctl: extend PR_SET_MM to set up more mm_struct entries
  c/r: procfs: add arg_start/end, env_start/end and exit_code members to /proc/$pid/stat
  syscalls, x86: add __NR_kcmp syscall
  fs, proc: introduce /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/children entry
  sysctl: make kernel.ns_last_pid control dependent on CHECKPOINT_RESTORE
  aio/vfs: cleanup of rw_copy_check_uvector() and compat_rw_copy_check_uvector()
  eventfd: change int to __u64 in eventfd_signal()
  fs/nls: add Apple NLS
  pidns: make killed children autoreap
  pidns: use task_active_pid_ns in do_notify_parent
  rapidio/tsi721: add DMA engine support
  rapidio: add DMA engine support for RIO data transfers
  ipc/mqueue: add rbtree node caching support
  tools/selftests: add mq_perf_tests
  ipc/mqueue: strengthen checks on mqueue creation
