* 'core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip: (63 commits)
  stacktrace: provide save_stack_trace_tsk() weak alias
  rcu: provide RCU options on non-preempt architectures too
  printk: fix discarding message when recursion_bug
  futex: clean up futex_(un)lock_pi fault handling
  "Tree RCU": scalable classic RCU implementation
  futex: rename field in futex_q to clarify single waiter semantics
  x86/swiotlb: add default swiotlb_arch_range_needs_mapping
  x86/swiotlb: add default phys<->bus conversion
  x86: unify pci iommu setup and allow swiotlb to compile for 32 bit
  x86: add swiotlb allocation functions
  swiotlb: consolidate swiotlb info message printing
  swiotlb: support bouncing of HighMem pages
  swiotlb: factor out copy to/from device
  swiotlb: add arch hook to force mapping
  swiotlb: allow architectures to override phys<->bus<->phys conversions
  swiotlb: add comment where we handle the overflow of a dma mask on 32 bit
  rcu: fix rcutorture behavior during reboot
  resources: skip sanity check of busy resources
  swiotlb: move some definitions to header
  swiotlb: allow architectures to override swiotlb pool allocation
  ...

Fix up trivial conflicts in
  arch/x86/kernel/Makefile
  arch/x86/mm/init_32.c
  include/linux/hardirq.h
as per Ingo's suggestions.

+	  This option reduces the latency of the kernel by making certain
