<content type='text'>
This just standardizes the use of MIN() and MAX() macros, with the very
traditional semantics.  The goal is to use these for C constant
expressions and for top-level / static initializers, and so be able to
simplify the min()/max() macros.

These macro names were used by various kernel code - they are very
traditional, after all - and all such users have been fixed up, with a
few different approaches:

 - trivial duplicated macro definitions have been removed

   Note that 'trivial' here means that it's obviously kernel code that
   already included all the major kernel headers, and thus gets the new
   generic MIN/MAX macros automatically.

 - non-trivial duplicated macro definitions are guarded with #ifndef

   This is the "yes, they define their own versions, but no, the include
   situation is not entirely obvious, and maybe they don't get the
   generic version automatically" case.

 - strange use case #1

   A couple of drivers decided that the way they want to describe their
   versioning is with

	#define MAJ 1
	#define MIN 2
	#define DRV_VERSION __stringify(MAJ) "." __stringify(MIN)

   which adds zero value and I just did my Alexander the Great
   impersonation, and rewrote that pointless Gordian knot as

	#define DRV_VERSION "1.2"

   instead.

 - strange use case #2

   A couple of drivers thought that it's a good idea to have a random
   'MIN' or 'MAX' define for a value or index into a table, rather than
   the traditional macro that takes arguments.

   These values were re-written as C enum's instead. The new
   function-line macros only expand when followed by an open
   parenthesis, and thus don't clash with enum use.

Happily, there weren't really all that many of these cases, and a lot of
users already had the pattern of using '#ifndef' guarding (or in one
case just using '#undef MIN') before defining their own private version
that does the same thing. I left such cases alone.

Pull interrupt subsystem updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Core:

   - Provide a new mechanism to create interrupt domains. The existing
     interfaces have already too many parameters and it's a pain to
     expand any of this for new required functionality.

     The new function takes a pointer to a data structure as argument.
     The data structure combines all existing parameters and allows for
     easy extension.

     The first extension for this is to handle the instantiation of
     generic interrupt chips at the core level and to allow drivers to
     provide extra init/exit callbacks.

     This is necessary to do the full interrupt chip initialization
     before the new domain is published, so that concurrent usage sites
     won't see a half initialized interrupt domain. Similar problems
     exist on teardown.

     This has turned out to be a real problem due to the deferred and
     parallel probing which was added in recent years.

     Handling this at the core level allows to remove quite some accrued
     boilerplate code in existing drivers and avoids horrible
     workarounds at the driver level.

   - The usual small improvements all over the place

  Drivers:

   - Add support for LAN966x OIC and RZ/Five SoC

   - Split the STM ExtI driver into a microcontroller and a SMP version
     to allow building the latter as a module for multi-platform
     kernels

   - Enable MSI support for Armada 370XP on platforms which do not
     support IPIs

   - The usual small fixes and enhancements all over the place"

UML should not be using the architecture native runtime constants, since
that requires also having the appropriate instruction fixups (and all
the linker script details).

Not that using that code would be impossible, but it's not worth it.
Just point UML at the generic version.

Pull asm-generic updates from Arnd Bergmann:
 "Most of this is part of my ongoing work to clean up the system call
  tables. In this bit, all of the newer architectures are converted to
  use the machine readable syscall.tbl format instead in place of
  complex macros in include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h.

  This follows an earlier series that fixed various API mismatches and
  in turn is used as the base for planned simplifications.

  The other two patches are dead code removal and a warning fix"
