Merge branch 'akpm' (incoming from Andrew)

Merge misc updates from Andrew Morton:

 - a few hotfixes

 - dynamic-debug updates

 - ipc updates

 - various other sweepings off the factory floor

* akpm: (31 commits)
  firmware/google: drop 'select EFI' to avoid recursive dependency
  compat: fix sys_fanotify_mark
  checkpatch.pl: check for function declarations without arguments
  mm/migrate.c: fix setting of cpupid on page migration twice against normal page
  softirq: use const char * const for softirq_to_name, whitespace neatening
  softirq: convert printks to pr_<level>
  softirq: use ffs() in __do_softirq()
  kernel/kexec.c: use vscnprintf() instead of vsnprintf() in vmcoreinfo_append_str()
  splice: fix unexpected size truncation
  ipc: fix compat msgrcv with negative msgtyp
  ipc,msg: document barriers
  ipc: delete seq_max field in struct ipc_ids
  ipc: simplify sysvipc_proc_open() return
  ipc: remove useless return statement
  ipc: remove braces for single statements
  ipc: standardize code comments
  ipc: whitespace cleanup
  ipc: change kern_ipc_perm.deleted type to bool
  ipc: introduce ipc_valid_object() helper to sort out IPC_RMID races
  ipc/sem.c: avoid overflow of semop undo (semadj) value
