Merge branch 'x86-mm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 mm updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The dominant change in this cycle was the continued work to isolate
kernel drivers from MTRR legacies: this tree gets rid of all kernel
internal driver interfaces to MTRRs (mostly by rewriting it to proper
PAT interfaces), the only access left is the /proc/mtrr ABI.
This work was done by Luis R Rodriguez.
There's also some related PCI interface additions for which I've
