Merge branch 'akpm' (incoming from Andrew)
Merge second patch-bomb from Andrew Morton: - the rest of MM - zram updates - zswap updates - exit - procfs - exec - wait - crash dump - lib/idr - rapidio - adfs, affs, bfs, ufs - cris - Kconfig things - initramfs - small amount of IPC material - percpu enhancements - early ioremap support - various other misc things * emailed patches from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: (156 commits) MAINTAINERS: update Intel C600 SAS driver maintainers fs/ufs: remove unused ufs_super_block_third pointer fs/ufs: remove unused ufs_super_block_second pointer fs/ufs: remove unused ufs_super_block_first pointer fs/ufs/super.c: add __init to init_inodecache() doc/kernel-parameters.txt: add early_ioremap_debug arm64: add early_ioremap support arm64: initialize pgprot info earlier in boot x86: use generic early_ioremap mm: create generic early_ioremap() support x86/mm: sparse warning fix for early_memremap lglock: map to spinlock when !CONFIG_SMP percpu: add preemption checks to __this_cpu ops vmstat: use raw_cpu_ops to avoid false positives on preemption checks slub: use raw_cpu_inc for incrementing statistics net: replace __this_cpu_inc in route.c with raw_cpu_inc modules: use raw_cpu_write for initialization of per cpu refcount. mm: use raw_cpu ops for determining current NUMA node percpu: add raw_cpu_ops slub: fix leak of 'name' in sysfs_slab_add ...
