Merge tag 'v4.3-rc2' into topic/drm-misc
Backmerge Linux 4.3-rc2 because of conflicts in the dp helper code between bugfixes and new code. Just adjacent lines really. On top of that there's a silent conflict in the new fsl-dcu driver merged into 4.3 and commit 844f9111f6f54f88eb2f0fac121b82ce77193866 Author: Maarten Lankhorst <maarten.lankhorst@linux.intel.com> Date: Wed Sep 2 10:42:40 2015 +0200 drm/atomic: Make prepare_fb/cleanup_fb only take state, v3. which Thierry Reding spotted and provided a fixup for. Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@intel.com>

- This option is required by programs like DOSEMU to run
- 16-bit real mode legacy code on x86 processors. It also may
- be needed by software like XFree86 to initialize some video
- cards via BIOS. Disabling this option saves about 6K.
+ This option allows user programs to put the CPU into V8086
+ mode, which is an 80286-era approximation of 16-bit real mode.
+
+ Some very old versions of X and/or vbetool require this option
+ for user mode setting. Similarly, DOSEMU will use it if
+ available to accelerate real mode DOS programs. However, any
+ recent version of DOSEMU, X, or vbetool should be fully
+ functional even without kernel VM86 support, as they will all
+ fall back to software emulation. Nevertheless, if you are using
+ a 16-bit DOS program where 16-bit performance matters, vm86
+ mode might be faster than emulation and you might want to
+ enable this option.
+
+ Note that any app that works on a 64-bit kernel is unlikely to
+ need this option, as 64-bit kernels don't, and can't, support
+ V8086 mode. This option is also unrelated to 16-bit protected
+ mode and is not needed to run most 16-bit programs under Wine.
+
+ Enabling this option increases the complexity of the kernel
+ and slows down exception handling a tiny bit.
