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.

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.

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.

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.
