Rather than have architectures #define ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN in an
architecture specific scatterlist.h, make it a proper Kconfig option and
use that instead.  At same time, remove the header files are are now

Pull ARM SoC cleanups from Olof Johansson:
 "This merge window brings a good size of cleanups on various platforms.
  Among the bigger ones:

   - Removal of Samsung s5pc100 and s5p64xx platforms.  Both of these
     have lacked active support for quite a while, and after asking
     around nobody showed interest in keeping them around.  If needed,
     they could be resurrected in the future but it's more likely that
     we would prefer reintroduction of them as DT and
     multiplatform-enabled platforms instead.

   - OMAP4 controller code register define diet.  They defined a lot of
     registers that were never actually used, etc.

   - Move of some of the Tegra platform code (PMC, APBIO, fuse,
     powergate) to drivers/soc so it can be shared with 64-bit code.
     This also converts them over to traditional driver models where
     possible.

   - Removal of legacy gpio-samsung driver, since the last users have
     been removed (moved to pinctrl)

  Plus a bunch of smaller changes for various platforms that sort of
  dissapear in the diffstat for the above.  clps711x cleanups, shmobile
  header file refactoring/moves for multiplatform friendliness, some
  misc cleanups, etc"

Pull second round of KVM changes from Paolo Bonzini:
 "Here are the PPC and ARM changes for KVM, which I separated because
  they had small conflicts (respectively within KVM documentation, and
  with 3.16-rc changes).  Since they were all within the subsystem, I
  took care of them.

  Stephen Rothwell reported some snags in PPC builds, but they are all
  fixed now; the latest linux-next report was clean.

  New features for ARM include:
   - KVM VGIC v2 emulation on GICv3 hardware
   - Big-Endian support for arm/arm64 (guest and host)
   - Debug Architecture support for arm64 (arm32 is on Christoffer's todo list)

  And for PPC:
   - Book3S: Good number of LE host fixes, enable HV on LE
   - Book3S HV: Add in-guest debug support

  This release drops support for KVM on the PPC440.  As a result, the
  PPC merge removes more lines than it adds.  :)

  I also included an x86 change, since Davidlohr tied it to an
  independent bug report and the reporter quickly provided a Tested-by;
  there was no reason to wait for -rc2"

Pull ARM updates from Russell King:
 "Included in this update:

   - perf updates from Will Deacon:

     The main changes are callchain stability fixes from Jean Pihet and
     event mapping and PMU name rework from Mark Rutland

     The latter is preparatory work for enabling some code re-use with
     arm64 in the future.

   - updates for nommu from Uwe Kleine-König:

     Two different fixes for the same problem making some ARM nommu
     configurations not boot since 3.6-rc1.  The problem is that
     user_addr_max returned the biggest available RAM address which
     makes some copy_from_user variants fail to read from XIP memory.

   - deprecate legacy OMAP DMA API, in preparation for it's removal.

     The popular drivers have been converted over, leaving a very small
     number of rarely used drivers, which hopefully can be converted
     during the next cycle with a bit more visibility (and hopefully
     people popping out of the woodwork to help test)

   - more tweaks for BE systems, particularly with the kernel image
     format.  In connection with this, I've cleaned up the way we
     generate the linker script for the decompressor.

   - removal of hard-coded assumptions of the kernel stack size, making
     everywhere depend on the value of THREAD_SIZE_ORDER.

   - MCPM updates from Nicolas Pitre.

   - Make it easier for proper CPU part number checks (which should
     always include the vendor field).

   - Assembly code optimisation - use the "bx" instruction when
     returning from a function on ARMv6+ rather than "mov pc, reg".

   - Save the last kernel misaligned fault location and report it via
     the procfs alignment file.

   - Clean up the way we create the initial stack frame, which is a
     repeated pattern in several different locations.

   - Support for 8-byte get_user(), needed for some DRM implementations.

   - mcs locking from Will Deacon.

   - Save and restore a few more Cortex-A9 registers (for errata
     workarounds)

   - Fix various aspects of the SWP emulation, and the ELF hwcap for the
     SWP instruction.

   - Update LPAE logic for pte_write and pmd_write to make it more
     correct.

   - Support for Broadcom Brahma15 CPU cores.

   - ARM assembly crypto updates from Ard Biesheuvel"

Pull ARM updates from Russell King:
 "Included in this update:

   - perf updates from Will Deacon:

     The main changes are callchain stability fixes from Jean Pihet and
     event mapping and PMU name rework from Mark Rutland

     The latter is preparatory work for enabling some code re-use with
     arm64 in the future.

   - updates for nommu from Uwe Kleine-König:

     Two different fixes for the same problem making some ARM nommu
     configurations not boot since 3.6-rc1.  The problem is that
     user_addr_max returned the biggest available RAM address which
     makes some copy_from_user variants fail to read from XIP memory.

   - deprecate legacy OMAP DMA API, in preparation for it's removal.

     The popular drivers have been converted over, leaving a very small
     number of rarely used drivers, which hopefully can be converted
     during the next cycle with a bit more visibility (and hopefully
     people popping out of the woodwork to help test)

   - more tweaks for BE systems, particularly with the kernel image
     format.  In connection with this, I've cleaned up the way we
     generate the linker script for the decompressor.

   - removal of hard-coded assumptions of the kernel stack size, making
     everywhere depend on the value of THREAD_SIZE_ORDER.

   - MCPM updates from Nicolas Pitre.

   - Make it easier for proper CPU part number checks (which should
     always include the vendor field).

   - Assembly code optimisation - use the "bx" instruction when
     returning from a function on ARMv6+ rather than "mov pc, reg".

   - Save the last kernel misaligned fault location and report it via
     the procfs alignment file.

   - Clean up the way we create the initial stack frame, which is a
     repeated pattern in several different locations.

   - Support for 8-byte get_user(), needed for some DRM implementations.

   - mcs locking from Will Deacon.

   - Save and restore a few more Cortex-A9 registers (for errata
     workarounds)

   - Fix various aspects of the SWP emulation, and the ELF hwcap for the
     SWP instruction.

   - Update LPAE logic for pte_write and pmd_write to make it more
     correct.

   - Support for Broadcom Brahma15 CPU cores.

   - ARM assembly crypto updates from Ard Biesheuvel"
