Merge branch 'akpm' (updates from Andrew Morton)
Merge second patch-bomb from Andrew Morton: - misc fixes - audit stuff - fanotify/inotify/dnotify things - most of the rest of MM. The new cache shrinker code from Glauber and Dave Chinner probably isn't quite stabilized yet. - ptrace - ipc - partitions - reboot cleanups - add LZ4 decompressor, use it for kernel compression * emailed patches from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: (118 commits) lib/scatterlist: error handling in __sg_alloc_table() scsi_debug: fix do_device_access() with wrap around range crypto: talitos: use sg_pcopy_to_buffer() lib/scatterlist: introduce sg_pcopy_from_buffer() and sg_pcopy_to_buffer() lib/scatterlist: factor out sg_miter_get_next_page() from sg_miter_next() crypto: add lz4 Cryptographic API lib: add lz4 compressor module arm: add support for LZ4-compressed kernel lib: add support for LZ4-compressed kernel decompressor: add LZ4 decompressor module lib: add weak clz/ctz functions reboot: move arch/x86 reboot= handling to generic kernel reboot: arm: change reboot_mode to use enum reboot_mode reboot: arm: prepare reboot_mode for moving to generic kernel code reboot: arm: remove unused restart_mode fields from some arm subarchs reboot: unicore32: prepare reboot_mode for moving to generic kernel code reboot: x86: prepare reboot_mode for moving to generic kernel code reboot: checkpatch.pl the new kernel/reboot.c file reboot: move shutdown/reboot related functions to kernel/reboot.c reboot: remove -stable friendly PF_THREAD_BOUND define ...
