Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew)

Merge updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Incoming:

   - a small number of updates to scripts/, ocfs2 and fs/buffer.c

   - most of MM

  I still have quite a lot of material (mostly not MM) staged after
  linux-next due to -next dependencies. I'll send those across next week
  as the preprequisites get merged up"
