Merge tag 'v3.5-rc4' into drm-intel-next-queued

I want to merge the "no more fake agp on gen6+" patches into
drm-intel-next (well, the last pieces). But a patch in 3.5-rc4 also
adds a new use of dev->agp. Hence the backmarge to sort this out, for
otherwise drm-intel-next merged into Linus' tree would conflict in the
relevant code, things would compile but nicely OOPS at driver load :(

Conflicts in this merge are just simple cases of "both branches
changed/added lines at the same place". The only tricky part is to
keep the order correct wrt the unwind code in case of errors in
intel_ringbuffer.c (and the MI_DISPLAY_FLIP #defines in i915_reg.h
together, obviously).

Conflicts:
	drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_reg.h
	drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_ringbuffer.c

+			  The EFI Boot Stub
+		     ---------------------------
+
+On the x86 platform, a bzImage can masquerade as a PE/COFF image,
+thereby convincing EFI firmware loaders to load it as an EFI
+executable. The code that modifies the bzImage header, along with the
+EFI-specific entry point that the firmware loader jumps to are
+collectively known as the "EFI boot stub", and live in
+arch/x86/boot/header.S and arch/x86/boot/compressed/eboot.c,
+respectively.
+
+By using the EFI boot stub it's possible to boot a Linux kernel
+without the use of a conventional EFI boot loader, such as grub or
+elilo. Since the EFI boot stub performs the jobs of a boot loader, in
+a certain sense it *IS* the boot loader.
+
+The EFI boot stub is enabled with the CONFIG_EFI_STUB kernel option.
+
+
+**** How to install bzImage.efi
+
+The bzImage located in arch/x86/boot/bzImage must be copied to the EFI
+System Partiion (ESP) and renamed with the extension ".efi". Without
+the extension the EFI firmware loader will refuse to execute it. It's
+not possible to execute bzImage.efi from the usual Linux file systems
+because EFI firmware doesn't have support for them.
+
+
+**** Passing kernel parameters from the EFI shell
+
+Arguments to the kernel can be passed after bzImage.efi, e.g.
+
+	fs0:> bzImage.efi console=ttyS0 root=/dev/sda4
+
+
+**** The "initrd=" option
+
+Like most boot loaders, the EFI stub allows the user to specify
+multiple initrd files using the "initrd=" option. This is the only EFI
+stub-specific command line parameter, everything else is passed to the
+kernel when it boots.
+
+The path to the initrd file must be an absolute path from the
+beginning of the ESP, relative path names do not work. Also, the path
+is an EFI-style path and directory elements must be separated with
+backslashes (\). For example, given the following directory layout,
+
+fs0:>
+	Kernels\
+			bzImage.efi
+			initrd-large.img
+
+	Ramdisks\
+			initrd-small.img
+			initrd-medium.img
+
+to boot with the initrd-large.img file if the current working
+directory is fs0:\Kernels, the following command must be used,
+
+	fs0:\Kernels> bzImage.efi initrd=\Kernels\initrd-large.img
+
+Notice how bzImage.efi can be specified with a relative path. That's
+because the image we're executing is interpreted by the EFI shell,
+which understands relative paths, whereas the rest of the command line
+is passed to bzImage.efi.
