Pull NTB updates from Jon Mason:
 "This includes a pretty significant reworking of the NTB core code, but
  has already produced some significant performance improvements.

  An abstraction layer was added to allow the hardware and clients to be
  easily added.  This required rewriting the NTB transport layer for
  this abstraction layer.  This modification will allow future "high
  performance" NTB clients.

  In addition to this change, a number of performance modifications were
  added.  These changes include NUMA enablement, using CPU memcpy
  instead of asyncdma, and modification of NTB layer MTU size"

* tag 'ntb-4.2' of git://github.com/jonmason/ntb: (22 commits)
  NTB: Add split BAR output for debugfs stats
  NTB: Change WARN_ON_ONCE to pr_warn_once on unsafe
  NTB: Print driver name and version in module init
  NTB: Increase transport MTU to 64k from 16k
  NTB: Rename Intel code names to platform names
  NTB: Default to CPU memcpy for performance

Pull virtio/vhost cross endian support from Michael Tsirkin:
 "I have just queued some more bugfix patches today but none fix
  regressions and none are related to these ones, so it looks like a
  good time for a merge for -rc1.

  The motivation for this is support for legacy BE guests on the new LE
  hosts.  There are two redeeming properties that made me merge this:

   - It's a trivial amount of code: since we wrap host/guest accesses
     anyway, almost all of it is well hidden from drivers.

   - Sane platforms would never set flags like VHOST_CROSS_ENDIAN_LEGACY,
     and when it's clear, there's zero overhead (as some point it was
     tested by compiling with and without the patches, got the same
     stripped binary).

  Maybe we could create a Kconfig symbol to enforce the second point:
  prevent people from enabling it eg on x86.  I will look into this"

* tag 'for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mst/vhost:
  virtio-pci: alloc only resources actually used.
  macvtap/tun: cross-endian support for little-endian hosts
  vhost: cross-endian support for legacy devices

This patch only moves files to their new locations, before applying the
next two patches adding the NTB Abstraction layer.  Splitting this patch
from the next is intended make distinct which code is changed only due
to moving the files, versus which are substantial code changes in adding
the NTB Abstraction layer.

Pull module updates from Rusty Russell:
 "Main excitement here is Peter Zijlstra's lockless rbtree optimization
  to speed module address lookup.  He found some abusers of the module
  lock doing that too.

  A little bit of parameter work here too; including Dan Streetman's
  breaking up the big param mutex so writing a parameter can load
  another module (yeah, really).  Unfortunately that broke the usual
  suspects, !CONFIG_MODULES and !CONFIG_SYSFS, so those fixes were
  appended too"

Pull module updates from Rusty Russell:
 "Main excitement here is Peter Zijlstra's lockless rbtree optimization
  to speed module address lookup.  He found some abusers of the module
  lock doing that too.

  A little bit of parameter work here too; including Dan Streetman's
  breaking up the big param mutex so writing a parameter can load
  another module (yeah, really).  Unfortunately that broke the usual
  suspects, !CONFIG_MODULES and !CONFIG_SYSFS, so those fixes were
  appended too"

Use kvfree() instead of open-coding it.
