* 'x86-fixes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip:
  x86, mce: Clean up thermal init by introducing intel_thermal_supported()
  x86, mce: Thermal monitoring depends on APIC being enabled
  x86: Gart: fix breakage due to IOMMU initialization cleanup
  x86: Move swiotlb initialization before dma32_free_bootmem
  x86: Fix build warning in arch/x86/mm/mmio-mod.c
  x86: Remove usedac in feature-removal-schedule.txt
  x86: Fix duplicated UV BAU interrupt vector
  nvram: Fix write beyond end condition; prove to gcc copy is safe
  mm: Adjust do_pages_stat() so gcc can see copy_from_user() is safe
  x86: Limit the number of processor bootup messages
  x86: Remove enabling x2apic message for every CPU
  doc: Add documentation for bootloader_{type,version}
  x86, msr: Add support for non-contiguous cpumasks
  x86: Use find_e820() instead of hard coded trampoline address
  x86, AMD: Fix stale cpuid4_info shared_map data in shared_cpu_map cpumasks

Trivial percpu-naming-introduced conflicts in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_cacheinfo.c
