Pull x86 PTI preparatory patches from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Todays Advent calendar window contains twentyfour easy to digest
  patches. The original plan was to have twenty three matching the date,
  but a late fixup made that moot.

   - Move the cpu_entry_area mapping out of the fixmap into a separate
     address space. That's necessary because the fixmap becomes too big
     with NRCPUS=8192 and this caused already subtle and hard to
     diagnose failures.

     The top most patch is fresh from today and cures a brain slip of
     that tall grumpy german greybeard, who ignored the intricacies of
     32bit wraparounds.

   - Limit the number of CPUs on 32bit to 64. That's insane big already,
     but at least it's small enough to prevent address space issues with
     the cpu_entry_area map, which have been observed and debugged with
     the fixmap code

   - A few TLB flush fixes in various places plus documentation which of
     the TLB functions should be used for what.

   - Rename the SYSENTER stack to CPU_ENTRY_AREA stack as it is used for
     more than sysenter now and keeping the name makes backtraces
     confusing.

   - Prevent LDT inheritance on exec() by moving it to arch_dup_mmap(),
     which is only invoked on fork().

   - Make vysycall more robust.

   - A few fixes and cleanups of the debug_pagetables code. Check
     PAGE_PRESENT instead of checking the PTE for 0 and a cleanup of the
     C89 initialization of the address hint array which already was out
     of sync with the index enums.

   - Move the ESPFIX init to a different place to prepare for PTI.

   - Several code moves with no functional change to make PTI
     integration simpler and header files less convoluted.

   - Documentation fixes and clarifications"

In order to sanitize the LDT initialization on x86 arch_dup_mmap() must be
allowed to fail. Fix up all instances.

<title>Do not hash userspace addresses in fault handlers</title>

The hashing of %p was designed to restrict kernel addresses. There is
no reason to hash the userspace values seen during a segfault report,
so switch these to %px. (Some architectures already use %lx.)

Pull MTD updates from Richard Weinberger:
 "General changes:
   -  Unconfuse get_unmapped_area and point/unpoint driver methods
   -  New partition parser: sharpslpart
   -  Kill GENERIC_IO
   -  Various fixes

  NAND changes:
   -  Add a flag to mark NANDs that require 3 address cycles to encode a
      page address
   -  Set a default ECC/free layout when NAND_ECC_NONE is requested
   -  Fix a bug in panic_nand_write()
   -  Another batch of cleanups for the denali driver
   -  Fix PM support in the atmel driver
   -  Remove support for platform data in the omap driver
   -  Fix subpage write in the omap driver
   -  Fix irq handling in the mtk driver
   -  Change link order of mtk_ecc and mtk_nand drivers to speed up boot
      time
   -  Change log level of ECC error messages in the mxc driver
   -  Patch the pxa3xx driver to support Armada 8k platforms
   -  Add BAM DMA support to the qcom driver
   -  Convert gpio-nand to the GPIO desc API
   -  Fix ECC handling in the mt29f driver

  SPI-NOR changes:
   -  Introduce system power management support
   -  New mechanism to select the proper .quad_enable() hook by JEDEC
      ID, when needed, instead of only by manufacturer ID

empty_bad_page() and empty_bad_pte_table() seem to be relics from old
days which is not used by any code for a long time.  I have tried to
find when exactly but this is not really all that straightforward due to
many code movements - traces disappear around 2.4 times.

Anyway no code really references neither empty_bad_page nor
empty_bad_pte_table.  We only allocate the storage which is not used by
anybody so remove them.

The GENERIC_IO option is set for every architecture except tile and score
as those define NO_IOMEM. The option only controls visibility of
CONFIG_MTD which doesn't appear to be necessary for any reason, so let's
just remove GENERIC_IO.
