Pull CMA and ARM DMA-mapping updates from Marek Szyprowski:
"These patches contain two major updates for DMA mapping subsystem
(mainly for ARM architecture). First one is Contiguous Memory
Allocator (CMA) which makes it possible for device drivers to allocate
big contiguous chunks of memory after the system has booted.
The main difference from the similar frameworks is the fact that CMA
allows to transparently reuse the memory region reserved for the big
chunk allocation as a system memory, so no memory is wasted when no
big chunk is allocated. Once the alloc request is issued, the
framework migrates system pages to create space for the required big
chunk of physically contiguous memory.
For more information one can refer to nice LWN articles:
- 'A reworked contiguous memory allocator':
http://lwn.net/Articles/447405/
- 'CMA and ARM':
http://lwn.net/Articles/450286/
- 'A deep dive into CMA':
http://lwn.net/Articles/486301/
- and the following thread with the patches and links to all previous
versions:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/3/204
The main client for this new framework is ARM DMA-mapping subsystem.
The second part provides a complete redesign in ARM DMA-mapping
subsystem. The core implementation has been changed to use common
struct dma_map_ops based infrastructure with the recent updates for
new dma attributes merged in v3.4-rc2. This allows to use more than
one implementation of dma-mapping calls and change/select them on the
struct device basis. The first client of this new infractructure is
dmabounce implementation which has been completely cut out of the
core, common code.
The last patch of this redesign update introduces a new, experimental
implementation of dma-mapping calls on top of generic IOMMU framework.
This lets ARM sub-platform to transparently use IOMMU for DMA-mapping
calls if one provides required IOMMU hardware.
For more information please refer to the following thread:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg175729.html
The last patch merges changes from both updates and provides a
resolution for the conflicts which cannot be avoided when patches have
been applied on the same files (mainly arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c)."

Let the user decide whether power consumption or jitter is the
more important consideration for their machines.
Quoting removal commit af5ab277ded04bd9bc6b048c5a2f0e7d70ef0867:
"Historically, Linux has tried to make the regular timer tick on the
various CPUs not happen at the same time, to avoid contention on
xtime_lock.
Nowadays, with the tickless kernel, this contention no longer happens
since time keeping and updating are done differently. In addition,
this skew is actually hurting power consumption in a measurable way on
many-core systems."
Problems:
- Contrary to the above, systems do encounter contention on both
xtime_lock and RCU structure locks when the tick is synchronized.
- Moderate sized RT systems suffer intolerable jitter due to the tick
being synchronized.
- SGI reports the same for their large systems.
- Fully utilized systems reap no power saving benefit from skew removal,
but do suffer from resulting induced lock contention.
- 0209f649 rcu: limit rcu_node leaf-level fanout
This patch was born to combat lock contention which testing showed
to have been _induced by_ skew removal. Skew the tick, contention
disappeared virtually completely.

Pull main drm updates from Dave Airlie:
"This is the main merge window request for the drm.
It's big, but jam packed will lots of features and of course 0
regressions. (okay maybe there'll be one).
Highlights:
- new KMS drivers for server GPU chipsets: ast, mgag200 and cirrus
(qemu only). These drivers use the generic modesetting drivers.
- initial prime/dma-buf support for i915, nouveau, radeon, udl and
exynos
- switcheroo audio support: so GPUs with HDMI can turn off the sound
driver without crashing stuff.
- There are some patches drifting outside drivers/gpu into x86 and
EFI for better handling of multiple video adapters in Apple Macs,
they've got correct acks except one trivial fixup.
- Core:
edid parser has better DMT and reduced blanking support,
crtc properties,
plane properties,
- Drivers:
exynos: add 2D core accel support, prime support, hdmi features
intel: more Haswell support, initial Valleyview support, more
hdmi infoframe fixes, update MAINTAINERS for Daniel, lots of
cleanups and fixes
radeon: more HDMI audio support, improved GPU lockup recovery
support, remove nested mutexes, less memory copying on PCIE, fix
bus master enable race (kexec), improved fence handling
gma500: cleanups, 1080p support, acpi fixes
nouveau: better nva3 memory reclocking, kepler accel (needs
external firmware rip), async buffer moves on nv84+ hw.
I've some more dma-buf patches that rely on the dma-buf merge for vmap
stuff, and I've a few fixes building up, but I'd decided I'd better
get rid of the main pull sooner rather than later, so the audio guys
are also unblocked."

Pull the MCA deletion branch from Paul Gortmaker: "It was good that we could support MCA machines back in the day, but realistically, nobody is using them anymore. They were mostly limited to 386-sx 16MHz CPU and some 486 class machines and never more than 64MB of RAM. Even the enthusiast hobbyist community seems to have dried up close to ten years ago, based on what you can find searching various websites dedicated to the relatively short lived hardware. So lets remove the support relating to CONFIG_MCA. There is no point carrying this forward, wasting cycles doing routine maintenance on it; wasting allyesconfig build time on validating it, wasting I/O on git grep'ping over it, and so on." Let's see if anybody screams. It generally has compiled, and James Bottomley pointed out that there was a MCA extension from NCR that allowed for up to 4GB of memory and PPro-class machines. So in *theory* there may be users out there. But even James (technically listed as a maintainer) doesn't actually have a system, and while Alan Cox claims to have a machine in his cellar that he offered to anybody who wants to take it off his hands, he didn't argue for keeping MCA support either. So we could bring it back. But somebody had better speak up and talk about how they have actually been using said MCA hardware with modern kernels for us to do that. And David already took the patch to delete all the networking driver code (commit a5e371f61ad3: "drivers/net: delete all code/drivers depending on CONFIG_MCA"). * 'delete-mca' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux: MCA: delete all remaining traces of microchannel bus support. scsi: delete the MCA specific drivers and driver code serial: delete the MCA specific 8250 support. arm: remove ability to select CONFIG_MCA
