   A major part of it is related to acpidump and the core code used
   by that utility.  Changes from Bob Moore, David E Box, Lv Zheng,
   Sascha Wildner, Tomasz Nowicki, Hanjun Guo.

 - Radix trees for memory bitmaps used by the hibernation core from
   Joerg Roedel.

 - Support for waking up the system from suspend-to-idle (also known
   as the "freeze" sleep state) using ACPI-based PCI wakeup signaling
   (Rafael J Wysocki).

 - Fixes for issues related to ACPI button events (Rafael J Wysocki).

 - New device ID for an ACPI-enumerated device included into the
   Wildcat Point PCH from Jie Yang.

 - ACPI video updates related to backlight handling from Hans de Goede
   and Linus Torvalds.

 - Preliminary changes needed to support ACPI on ARM from Hanjun Guo
   and Graeme Gregory.

 - ACPI PNP core cleanups from Arjun Sreedharan and Zhang Rui.

 - Cleanups related to ACPI_COMPANION() and ACPI_HANDLE() macros
   (Rafael J Wysocki).

 - ACPI-based device hotplug cleanups from Wei Yongjun and
   Rafael J Wysocki.

 - Cleanups and improvements related to system suspend from
   Lan Tianyu, Randy Dunlap and Rafael J Wysocki.

 - ACPI battery cleanup from Wei Yongjun.

 - cpufreq core fixes from Viresh Kumar.

 - Elimination of a deadband effect from the cpufreq ondemand
   governor and intel_pstate driver cleanups from Stratos Karafotis.

 - 350MHz CPU support for the powernow-k6 cpufreq driver from
   Mikulas Patocka.

 - Fix for the imx6 cpufreq driver from Anson Huang.

 - cpuidle core and governor cleanups from Daniel Lezcano,
   Sandeep Tripathy and Mohammad Merajul Islam Molla.

 - Build fix for the big_little cpuidle driver from Sachin Kamat.

 - Configuration fix for the Operation Performance Points (OPP)
   framework from Mark Brown.

 - APM cleanup from Jean Delvare.

 - cpupower utility fixes and cleanups from Peter Senna Tschudin,
   Andrey Utkin, Himangi Saraogi, Rickard Strandqvist, Thomas Renninger.

This is the 3.2.62 stable release

Here are the PPC and ARM changes for KVM, which I separated because
they had small conflicts (respectively within KVM documentation,
and with 3.16-rc changes).  Since they were all within the subsystem,
I took care of them.

Stephen Rothwell reported some snags in PPC builds, but they are all
fixed now; the latest linux-next report was clean.

New features for ARM include:
- KVM VGIC v2 emulation on GICv3 hardware
- Big-Endian support for arm/arm64 (guest and host)
- Debug Architecture support for arm64 (arm32 is on Christoffer's todo list)

And for PPC:
- Book3S: Good number of LE host fixes, enable HV on LE
- Book3S HV: Add in-guest debug support

This release drops support for KVM on the PPC440.  As a result, the
PPC merge removes more lines than it adds. :)

I also included an x86 change, since Davidlohr tied it to an independent
bug report and the reporter quickly provided a Tested-by; there was no
reason to wait for -rc2.

IOMMU Updates for Linux v3.17

This time with:

	* Support for the generic PCI device alias code in x86 IOMMU
	  drivers

	* A new sysfs interface for IOMMUs

	* Preparations for hotplug support in the Intel IOMMU driver

	* Change the AMD IOMMUv2 driver to not hold references to core
	  data structures like mm_struct or task_struct. Rely on
	  mmu_notifers instead.

	* Removal of the OMAP IOVMM interface, all users of it are
	  converted to DMA-API now

	* Make the struct iommu_ops const everywhere

	* Initial PCI support for the ARM SMMU driver

	* There is now a generic device tree binding documented for
	  ARM IOMMUs

	* Various fixes and cleanups all over the place

Also included are some changes to the OMAP code, which are acked by the
maintainer.

ASoC: Updates for v3.17

This has been a pretty exciting release in terms of the framework, we've
finally got support for multiple CODECs attached to a single DAI link
which has been something there's been interest in as long as I've been
working on ASoC.  A big thanks to Benoit and Misael for their work on
this.

Otherwise it's been a fairly standard release for development, including
more componentisation work from Lars-Peter and a good selection of both
CODEC and CPU drivers.

 - Support for multiple CODECs attached to a single DAI, enabling
   systems with for example multiple DAC/speaker drivers on a single
   link, contributed by Benoit Cousson based on work from Misael Lopez
   Cruz.
 - Support for byte controls larger than 256 bytes based on the use of
   TLVs contributed by Omair Mohammed Abdullah.
 - More componentisation work from Lars-Peter Clausen.
 - The remainder of the conversions of CODEC drivers to params_width()
 - Drivers for Cirrus Logic CS4265, Freescale i.MX ASRC blocks, Realtek
   RT286 and RT5670, Rockchip RK3xxx I2S controllers and Texas Instruments
   TAS2552.
 - Lots of updates and fixes, especially to the DaVinci, Intel,
   Freescale, Realtek, and rcar drivers.

These are the x86, MIPS and s390 changes; PPC and ARM will come in a
few days.

MIPS and s390 have little going on this release; just bugfixes, some
small, some larger.

The highlights for x86 are nested VMX improvements (Jan Kiszka), optimizations
for old processor (up to Nehalem, by me and Bandan Das), and a lot of x86
emulator bugfixes (Nadav Amit).

Stephen Rothwell reported a trivial conflict with the tracing branch.

Linux 3.16

Staging driver bugfixes for 3.16-rc8

Here are some tiny staging driver bugfixes that I've had in my tree for
the past week that resolve some reported issues.  Nothing major at all,
but it would be good to get them merged for 3.16-rc8 or -final.

Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

This is the 3.12.26 stable release

This is the 3.4.101 stable release

This is the 3.10.51 stable release

This is the 3.14.15 stable release

This is the 3.15.8 stable release

ACPI fix for 3.16-rc8

One commit that fixes a problem causing PNP devices to be associated
with wrong ACPI device objects sometimes during device enumeration
due to an incorrect check in a matching function.

That problem was uncovered by the ACPI device enumeration rework
in 3.14.
