Merge remote branch 'origin' into secretlab/next-devicetree
Merging in current state of Linus' tree to deal with merge conflicts and build failures in vio.c after merge. Conflicts: drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-cpm.c drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-mpc.c drivers/net/gianfar.c Also fixed up one line in arch/powerpc/kernel/vio.c to use the correct node pointer.

+ * One of the work items currently on the workqueue needs to acquire

+ * Your code is running in the context of a work routine.
+ *
+ * They will be detected by lockdep when they occur, but the first might not
+ * occur very often. It depends on what work items are on the workqueue and
+ * what locks they need, which you have no control over.
+ *
+ * In most situations flushing the entire workqueue is overkill; you merely
+ * need to know that a particular work item isn't queued and isn't running.
