Pull ARM SoC Header cleanups from Olof Johansson:
"This is a collection of header file cleanups, mostly for OMAP and
AT91, that keeps moving the platforms in the direction of
multiplatform by removing the need for mach-dependent header files
used in drivers and other places."
Fix up mostly trivial conflicts as per Olof.

Pull cgroup changes from Tejun Heo:
"A lot of activities on cgroup side. The big changes are focused on
making cgroup hierarchy handling saner.
- cgroup_rmdir() had peculiar semantics - it allowed cgroup
destruction to be vetoed by individual controllers and tried to
drain refcnt synchronously. The vetoing never worked properly and
caused good deal of contortions in cgroup. memcg was the last
reamining user. Michal Hocko removed the usage and cgroup_rmdir()
path has been simplified significantly. This was done in a
separate branch so that the memcg people can base further memcg
changes on top.
- The above allowed cleaning up cgroup lifecycle management and
implementation of generic cgroup iterators which are used to
improve hierarchy support.
- cgroup_freezer updated to allow migration in and out of a frozen
cgroup and handle hierarchy. If a cgroup is frozen, all descendant
cgroups are frozen.
- netcls_cgroup and netprio_cgroup updated to handle hierarchy
properly.
- Various fixes and cleanups.
- Two merge commits. One to pull in memcg and rmdir cleanups (needed
to build iterators). The other pulled in cgroup/for-3.7-fixes for
device_cgroup fixes so that further device_cgroup patches can be
stacked on top."

Pull ARM OMAP serial updates from Russell King:
"This series is a major reworking of the OMAP serial driver code fixing
various bugs in the hardware-assisted flow control, extending up into
serial_core for a couple of issues. These fixes have been done as a
set of progressive changes and transformations in the hope that no new
bugs will be introduced by this series.
The problems are many-fold, from the driver not being informed about
updated settings, to the driver not knowing what the intentions of the
upper layers are.
The first four patches tackle the serial_core layer, allowing it to
provide the necessary information to drivers, and the remaining
patches allow the OMAP serial driver to take advantage of this.
This brings hardware assisted RTS/CTS and XON/OFF flow control into a
useful state.
These patches have been in linux-next for most of the last cycle;
indeed they predate the previous merge window. They've also been
posted to the OMAP people."

Pull x86 BSP hotplug changes from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree enables CPU#0 (the boot processor) to be onlined/offlined on
x86, just like any other CPU. Enabled on Intel CPUs for now.
Allowing this required the identification and fixing of latent CPU#0
assumptions (such as CPU#0 initializations, etc.) in the x86
architecture code, plus the identification of barriers to
BSP-offlining, such as active PIC interrupts which can only be
serviced on the BSP.
It's behind a default-off option, and there's a debug option that
allows the automatic testing of this feature.
The motivation of this feature is to allow and prepare for true
CPU-hotplug hardware support: recent changes to MCE support enable us
to detect a deteriorating but not yet hard-failing L1/L2 cache on a
CPU that could be soft-unplugged - or a failing L3 cache on a
multi-socket system.
Note that true hardware hot-plug is not yet fully enabled by this,
because that requires a special platform wakeup sequence to be sent to
the freshly powered up CPU#0. Future patches for this are planned,
once such a platform exists. Chicken and egg"
