Pull IOMMU updates from Joerg Roedel:
 "This pull-request includes:

   - change in the IOMMU-API to convert the former iommu_domain_capable
     function to just iommu_capable

   - various fixes in handling RMRR ranges for the VT-d driver (one fix
     requires a device driver core change which was acked by Greg KH)

   - the AMD IOMMU driver now assigns and deassigns complete alias
     groups to fix issues with devices using the wrong PCI request-id

   - MMU-401 support for the ARM SMMU driver

   - multi-master IOMMU group support for the ARM SMMU driver

<content type='text'>
Initialization procedure of dma coherent pool has been split into two
parts, so memory pool can now be initialized without assigning to
particular struct device.  Then initialized region can be assigned to more
than one struct device.  To protect from concurent allocations from
structure.  The last part of this patch adds support for handling
'shared-dma-pool' reserved-memory device tree nodes.

<title>mm: remove noisy remainder of the scan_unevictable interface</title>

<content type='text'>
The deprecation warnings for the scan_unevictable interface triggers by
scripts doing `sysctl -a | grep something else'.  This is annoying and not
helpful.

The interface has been defunct since 264e56d8247e ("mm: disable user
interface to manually rescue unevictable pages"), which was in 2011, and
there haven't been any reports of usecases for it, only reports that the
deprecation warnings are annying.  It's unlikely that anybody is using
this interface specifically at this point, so remove it.

<title>common: dma-mapping: introduce common remapping functions</title>

<content type='text'>
For architectures without coherent DMA, memory for DMA may need to be
remapped with coherent attributes.  Factor out the the remapping code from
arm and put it in a common location to reduce code duplication.

As part of this, the arm APIs are now migrated away from
ioremap_page_range to the common APIs which use map_vm_area for remapping.
 This should be an equivalent change and using map_vm_area is more correct
as ioremap_page_range is intended to bring in io addresses into the cpu
space and not regular kernel managed memory.

<title>memory-hotplug: add sysfs valid_zones attribute</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently memory-hotplug has two limits:

1. If the memory block is in ZONE_NORMAL, you can change it to
   ZONE_MOVABLE, but this memory block must be adjacent to ZONE_MOVABLE.

2. If the memory block is in ZONE_MOVABLE, you can change it to
   ZONE_NORMAL, but this memory block must be adjacent to ZONE_NORMAL.

With this patch, we can easy to know a memory block can be onlined to
which zone, and don't need to know the above two limits.

Updated the related Documentation.

2. If the memory block is in ZONE_MOVABLE, you can change it to
   ZONE_NORMAL, but this memory block must be adjacent to ZONE_NORMAL.

With this patch, we can easy to know a memory block can be onlined to
which zone, and don't need to know the above two limits.

Updated the related Documentation.

Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "Features-wise, to me the most important this time is a rework of
  wakeup interrupts handling in the core that makes them work
  consistently across all of the available sleep states, including
  suspend-to-idle.  Many thanks to Thomas Gleixner for his help with
  this work.

  Second is an update of the generic PM domains code that has been in
  need of some care for quite a while.  Unused code is being removed, DT
  support is being added and domains are now going to be attached to
  devices in bus type code in analogy with the ACPI PM domain.  The
  majority of work here was done by Ulf Hansson who also has been the
  most active developer this time.

  Apart from this we have a traditional ACPICA update, this time to
  upstream version 20140828 and a few ACPI wakeup interrupts handling
  patches on top of the general rework mentioned above.  There also are
  several cpufreq commits including renaming the cpufreq-cpu0 driver to
  cpufreq-dt, as this is what implements generic DT-based cpufreq
  support, and a new DT-based idle states infrastructure for cpuidle.

  In addition to that, the ACPI LPSS driver is updated, ACPI support for
  Apple machines is improved, a few bugs are fixed and a few cleanups
  are made all over.

  Finally, the Adaptive Voltage Scaling (AVS) subsystem now has a tree
  maintained by Kevin Hilman that will be merged through the PM tree.

  Numbers-wise, the generic PM domains update takes the lead this time
  with 32 non-merge commits, second is cpufreq (15 commits) and the 3rd
  place goes to the wakeup interrupts handling rework (13 commits).

  Specifics:

   - Rework the handling of wakeup IRQs by the IRQ core such that all of
     them will be switched over to "wakeup" mode in suspend_device_irqs()
     and in that mode the first interrupt will abort system suspend in
     progress or wake up the system if already in suspend-to-idle (or
     equivalent) without executing any interrupt handlers.  Among other
     things that eliminates the wakeup-related motivation to use the
     IRQF_NO_SUSPEND interrupt flag with interrupts which don't really
     need it and should not use it (Thomas Gleixner and Rafael Wysocki)

   - Switch over ACPI to handling wakeup interrupts with the help of the
     new mechanism introduced by the above IRQ core rework (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Rework the core generic PM domains code to eliminate code that's
     not used, add DT support and add a generic mechanism by which
     devices can be added to PM domains automatically during enumeration
     (Ulf Hansson, Geert Uytterhoeven and Tomasz Figa).

   - Add debugfs-based mechanics for debugging generic PM domains
     (Maciej Matraszek).

   - ACPICA update to upstream version 20140828.  Included are updates
     related to the SRAT and GTDT tables and the _PSx methods are in the
     METHOD_NAME list now (Bob Moore and Hanjun Guo).

   - Add _OSI("Darwin") support to the ACPI core (unfortunately, that
     can't really be done in a straightforward way) to prevent
     Thunderbolt from being turned off on Apple systems after boot (or
     after resume from system suspend) and rework the ACPI Smart Battery
     Subsystem (SBS) driver to work correctly with Apple platforms
     (Matthew Garrett and Andreas Noever).

   - ACPI LPSS (Low-Power Subsystem) driver update cleaning up the code,
     adding support for 133MHz I2C source clock on Intel Baytrail to it
     and making it avoid using UART RTS override with Auto Flow Control
     (Heikki Krogerus).

   - ACPI backlight updates removing the video_set_use_native_backlight
     quirk which is not necessary any more, making the code check the
     list of output devices returned by the _DOD method to avoid
     creating acpi_video interfaces that won't work and adding a quirk
     for Lenovo Ideapad Z570 (Hans de Goede, Aaron Lu and Stepan Bujnak)

   - New Win8 ACPI OSI quirks for some Dell laptops (Edward Lin)

   - Assorted ACPI code cleanups (Fabian Frederick, Rasmus Villemoes,
     Sudip Mukherjee, Yijing Wang, and Zhang Rui)

   - cpufreq core updates and cleanups (Viresh Kumar, Preeti U Murthy,
     Rasmus Villemoes)

   - cpufreq driver updates: cpufreq-cpu0/cpufreq-dt (driver name change
     among other things), ppc-corenet, powernv (Viresh Kumar, Preeti U
     Murthy, Shilpasri G Bhat, Lucas Stach)

   - cpuidle support for DT-based idle states infrastructure, new ARM64
     cpuidle driver, cpuidle core cleanups (Lorenzo Pieralisi, Rasmus
     Villemoes)

   - ARM big.LITTLE cpuidle driver updates: support for DT-based
     initialization and Exynos5800 compatible string (Lorenzo Pieralisi,
     Kevin Hilman)

   - Rework of the test_suspend kernel command line argument and a new
     trace event for console resume (Srinivas Pandruvada, Todd E Brandt)

   - Second attempt to optimize swsusp_free() (hibernation core) to make
     it avoid going through all PFNs which may be way too slow on some
     systems (Joerg Roedel)

   - devfreq updates (Paul Bolle, Punit Agrawal, Ãrjan Eide).

   - rockchip-io Adaptive Voltage Scaling (AVS) driver and AVS entry
     update in MAINTAINERS (Heiko Stübner, Kevin Hilman)

   - PM core fix related to clock management (Geert Uytterhoeven)

   - PM core's sysfs code cleanup (Johannes Berg)"
