This includes initial support for the recently published ACPI 5.0 spec.
In particular, support for the "hardware-reduced" bit that eliminates
the dependency on legacy hardware.

APEI has patches resulting from testing on real hardware.

Plus other random fixes.

* 'release' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lenb/linux: (52 commits)
  acpi/apei/einj: Add extensions to EINJ from rev 5.0 of acpi spec
  intel_idle: Split up and provide per CPU initialization func
  ACPI processor: Remove unneeded variable passed by acpi_processor_hotadd_init V2
  ACPI processor: Remove unneeded cpuidle_unregister_driver call
  intel idle: Make idle driver more robust

  ACPI: kernel-parameters.txt : Add intel_idle.max_cstate
  intel_idle: remove redundant local_irq_disable() call
  ACPI processor: Fix error path, also remove sysdev link
  ACPI: processor: fix acpi_get_cpuid for UP processor
  intel_idle: fix API misuse
  ACPI APEI: Convert atomicio routines
  ACPI: Export interfaces for ioremapping/iounmapping ACPI registers
  ACPI: Fix possible alignment issues with GAS 'address' references
  ACPI, ia64: Use SRAT table rev to use 8bit or 16/32bit PXM fields (ia64)
  ACPI, x86: Use SRAT table rev to use 8bit or 32bit PXM fields (x86/x86-64)
  ACPI: Store SRAT table revision

Andrew explains:

 - various misc stuff

 - Most of the rest of MM: memcg, threaded hugepages, others.

 - cpumask

 - kexec

 - kdump

 - some direct-io performance tweaking

 - radix-tree optimisations

 - new selftests code

   A note on this: often people will develop a new userspace-visible
   feature and will develop userspace code to exercise/test that
   feature.  Then they merge the patch and the selftest code dies.
   Sometimes we paste it into the changelog.  Sometimes the code gets
   thrown into Documentation/(!).

   This saddens me.  So this patch creates a bare-bones framework which
   will henceforth allow me to ask people to include their test apps in
   the kernel tree so we can keep them alive.  Then when people enhance
   or fix the feature, I can ask them to update the test app too.

   The infrastruture is terribly trivial at present - let's see how it
   evolves.

 - checkpoint/restart feature work.

   A note on this: this is a project by various mad Russians to perform
   c/r mainly from userspace, with various oddball helper code added
   into the kernel where the need is demonstrated.

   So rather than some large central lump of code, what we have is
   little bits and pieces popping up in various places which either
   expose something new or which permit something which is normally
   kernel-private to be modified.

   The overall project is an ongoing thing.  I've judged that the size
   and scope of the thing means that we're more likely to be successful
   with it if we integrate the support into mainline piecemeal rather
   than allowing it all to develop out-of-tree.

   However I'm less confident than the developers that it will all
   eventually work! So what I'm asking them to do is to wrap each piece
   of new code inside CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.  So if it all
   eventually comes to tears and the project as a whole fails, it should
   be a simple matter to go through and delete all trace of it.

This lot pretty much wraps up the -rc1 merge for me.

* akpm: (96 commits)
  unlzo: fix input buffer free
  ramoops: update parameters only after successful init
  ramoops: fix use of rounddown_pow_of_two()
  c/r: prctl: add PR_SET_MM codes to set up mm_struct entries
  c/r: procfs: add start_data, end_data, start_brk members to /proc/$pid/stat v4
  c/r: introduce CHECKPOINT_RESTORE symbol
  selftests: new x86 breakpoints selftest
  selftests: new very basic kernel selftests directory
  radix_tree: take radix_tree_path off stack
  radix_tree: remove radix_tree_indirect_to_ptr()
  dio: optimize cache misses in the submission path
  vfs: cache request_queue in struct block_device
  fs/direct-io.c: calculate fs_count correctly in get_more_blocks()
  drivers/parport/parport_pc.c: fix warnings

Bring a first selftest in the relevant directory.  This tests several
combinations of breakpoints and watchpoints in x86, as well as icebp traps
and int3 traps.  Given the amount of breakpoint regressions we raised
after we merged the generic breakpoint infrastructure, such selftest
became necessary and can still serve today as a basis for new patches that
touch the do_debug() path.

Bring a new kernel selftests directory in tools/testing/selftests.  To
add a new selftest, create a subdirectory with the sources and a
makefile that creates a target named "run_test" then add the
subdirectory name to the TARGET var in tools/testing/selftests/Makefile
and tools/testing/selftests/run_tests script.

This can help centralizing and maintaining any useful selftest that
developers usually tend to let rust in peace on some random server.

This is a better location instead of having it in Documentation.

Remove wrapper functions. This makes the allocation type explicit in
all callers; I used GPF_KERNEL where it seemed obvious, left it at
GFP_ATOMIC otherwise.
