Merge branch 'x86-mm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip into next
Pull x86 mm update from Ingo Molnar: - speed up 256 GB PCI BAR ioremap()s - speed up PTE swapout page reclaim case * 'x86-mm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86, ioremap: Speed up check for RAM pages x86/mm: In the PTE swapout page reclaim case clear the accessed bit instead of flushing the TLB
