Merge branch 'akpm' (Andrew's patch-bomb)
Merge misc patches from Andrew Morton:
"The MM tree is rather stuck while I wait to find out what the heck is
happening with sched/numa. Probably I'll need to route around all the
code which was added to -next, sigh.
So this is "everything else", or at least most of it - other small
bits are still awaiting resolutions of various kinds."
* emailed patches from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: (180 commits)
lib/decompress.c add __init to decompress_method and data
