Here are the 3.13 KVM changes.  There was a lot of work on the PPC
side: the HV and emulation flavors can now coexist in a single kernel
is probably the most interesting change from a user point of view.
On the x86 side there are nested virtualization improvements and a
few bugfixes.  ARM got transparent huge page support, improved
overcommit, and support for big endian guests.

Finally, there is a new interface to connect KVM with VFIO.  This
helps with devices that use NoSnoop PCI transactions, letting the
driver in the guest execute WBINVD instructions.  This includes
some nVidia cards on Windows, that fail to start without these
patches and the corresponding userspace changes.

fbdev changes for 3.13

Nothing particularly stands out in this pull request. The biggest part of the
changes are cleanups.

Maybe one fix to mention is the "fb: reorder the lock sequence to fix potential
dead lock" which hopefully fixes the fb locking issues reported by multiple
persons.

There are also a few commits that have changes to arch/arm/mach-at91 and
arch/avr32, which have been acked by the maintainers.

Linux 3.12

Last-minute ACPI and power management fixes for 3.12

 - Revert epoll and select commits related to the freezer, introduced
   during the 3.11 cycle, that cause mysterious user space breakage
   to occur during resume from suspend to RAM for multiple users of
   32-bit x86 systems.  Material for 3.11.y stable kernels.

 - Revert a recent ACPI-based PCI hotplug (ACPIPHP) commit that was
   part of boot problem fixes for one machine, but turns out to cause
   issues with hotplug on Thunderbolt chains with multiple devices.
   It also turns out to be unnecessary after another fix in the
   same area that went in later.  From Mika Westerberg.

drm/tegra: Changes for v3.13-rc1

The biggest part of the changes is the decoupling of the host1x and DRM
drivers followed by the move of Tegra DRM back to drivers/gpu/drm/tegra
from whence it came. There is a lot of cleanup as well, and the drivers
can now be properly unloaded and reloaded.

HDMI support for the Tegra114 SoC was contributed by Mikko Perttunen.

gr2d support was extended to Tegra114 and the gr3d driver that has been
in the works for quite some time finally made it in. All pieces to run
an OpenGL driver on top of an upstream kernel are now available.

Support for syncpoint bases was added by Arto Merilainen. This is useful
for synchronizing between command streams from different engines such as
gr2d and gr3d.

Erik Faye-Lund and Wei Yongjun contributed various small fixes. Thanks!

Linux 3.12-rc7

This is the 3.2.52 stable release

ACPI and power management fixes for 3.12-rc7

 - Fix for rounding errors in intel_pstate causing CPU utilization to
   be underestimated from Brennan Shacklett.

 - intel_pstate fix to always use the correct max pstate value when
   computing the min pstate from Dirk Brandewie.

 - Hibernation fix for deadlocking resume in cases when the probing
   of the device containing the image is deferred from Russ Dill.

 - acpi-cpufreq fix to prevent the module from staying in memory
   when the driver cannot be registered and then attempting to
   unregister things that have never been registered on exit.

Linux 3.12-rc6

ACPI and power management fixes for 3.12-rc6

 - intel_pstate fix for misbehavior after system resume if sysfs
   attributes are set in a specific way before the corresponding
   suspend from Dirk Brandewie.

 - A recent intel_pstate fix has no effect if unsigned long is 32-bit,
   so fix it up to cover that case as well.

 - The s3c64xx cpufreq driver was not updated when the index field of
   struct cpufreq_frequency_table was replaced with driver_data, so
   update it now.  From Charles Keepax.

 - The Kconfig help text for ACPI_BUTTON still refers to /proc/acpi/event
   that has been dropped recently, so modify it to remove that reference.
   From Krzysztof Mazur.

 - A Lan Tianyu's change adds a missing mutex unlock to an error code
   path in acpi_resume_power_resources().

 - Some code related to ACPI power resources, whose very purpose is
   questionable to put it lightly, turns out to cause problems to
   happen during testing on real systems, so remove it completely
   (we may revisit that in the future if there's a compelling enough
   reason).  From Rafael J Wysocki and Aaron Lu.
