Merge tag 'metag-v3.9-rc1-v4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jhogan/metag
Pull new ImgTec Meta architecture from James Hogan:
 "This adds core architecture support for Imagination's Meta processor
  cores, followed by some later miscellaneous arch/metag cleanups and
  fixes which I kept separate to ease review:

   - Support for basic Meta 1 (ATP) and Meta 2 (HTP) core architecture
   - A few fixes all over, particularly for symbol prefixes
   - A few privilege protection fixes
   - Several cleanups (setup.c includes, split out a lot of
     metag_ksyms.c)
   - Fix some missing exports
   - Convert hugetlb to use vm_unmapped_area()
   - Copy device tree to non-init memory
   - Provide dma_get_sgtable()"

+	help
+	  Some architectures require 64 bit accesses to be 64 bit
+	  aligned, which also requires structs containing 64 bit values
+	  to be 64 bit aligned too. This includes some 32 bit
+	  architectures which can do 64 bit accesses, as well as 64 bit
+	  architectures without unaligned access.
+
+	  This symbol should be selected by an architecture if 64 bit
+	  accesses are required to be 64 bit aligned in this way even
+	  though it is not a 64 bit architecture.
+
+	  See Documentation/unaligned-memory-access.txt for more
+	  information on the topic of unaligned memory accesses.
