Merge commit 'origin/master' into for-linus/xen/master
* commit 'origin/master': (4825 commits) Fix build errors due to CONFIG_BRANCH_TRACER=y parport: Use the PCI IRQ if offered tty: jsm cleanups Adjust path to gpio headers KGDB_SERIAL_CONSOLE check for module Change KCONFIG name tty: Blackin CTS/RTS Change hardware flow control from poll to interrupt driven Add support for the MAX3100 SPI UART. lanana: assign a device name and numbering for MAX3100 serqt: initial clean up pass for tty side tty: Use the generic RS485 ioctl on CRIS tty: Correct inline types for tty_driver_kref_get() splice: fix deadlock in splicing to file nilfs2: support nanosecond timestamp nilfs2: introduce secondary super block nilfs2: simplify handling of active state of segments nilfs2: mark minor flag for checkpoint created by internal operation nilfs2: clean up sketch file nilfs2: super block operations fix endian bug ...
