Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:

 - "genirq: Introduce generic irq migration for cpu hotunplugged" patch
   merged from tip/irq/for-arm to allow the arm64-specific part to be
   upstreamed via the arm64 tree

 - CPU feature detection reworked to cope with heterogeneous systems
   where CPUs may not have exactly the same features.  The features
   reported by the kernel via internal data structures or ELF_HWCAP are
   delayed until all the CPUs are up (and before user space starts)

 - Support for 16KB pages, with the additional bonus of a 36-bit VA
   space, though the latter only depending on EXPERT

 - Implement native {relaxed, acquire, release} atomics for arm64

 - New ASID allocation algorithm which avoids IPI on roll-over, together
   with TLB invalidation optimisations (using local vs global where
   feasible)

 - KASan support for arm64

 - EFI_STUB clean-up and isolation for the kernel proper (required by
   KASan)

 - copy_{to,from,in}_user optimisations (sharing the memcpy template)

 - perf: moving arm64 to the arm32/64 shared PMU framework

 - L1_CACHE_BYTES increased to 128 to accommodate Cavium hardware

 - Support for the contiguous PTE hint on kernel mapping (16 consecutive
   entries may be able to use a single TLB entry)

 - Generic CONFIG_HZ now used on arm64

 - defconfig updates

* tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: (91 commits)
  arm64/efi: fix libstub build under CONFIG_MODVERSIONS
  ARM64: Enable multi-core scheduler support by default
  arm64/efi: move arm64 specific stub C code to libstub
  arm64: page-align sections for DEBUG_RODATA
  arm64: Fix build with CONFIG_ZONE_DMA=n
  arm64: Fix compat register mappings
  arm64: Increase the max granular size
  arm64: remove bogus TASK_SIZE_64 check
  arm64: make Timer Interrupt Frequency selectable
  arm64/mm: use PAGE_ALIGNED instead of IS_ALIGNED
  arm64: cachetype: fix definitions of ICACHEF_* flags
  arm64: cpufeature: declare enable_cpu_capabilities as static
  genirq: Make the cpuhotplug migration code less noisy
  arm64: Constify hwcap name string arrays

  arm64/debug: Make use of the system wide safe value
  arm64: Move FP/ASIMD hwcap handling to common code

<title>arm64/efi: remove /chosen/linux, uefi-stub-kern-ver DT property</title>

With the stub to kernel interface being promoted to a proper interface
so that other agents than the stub can boot the kernel proper in EFI
mode, we can remove the linux,uefi-stub-kern-ver field, considering
that its original purpose was to prevent this from happening in the
first place.

Now that we have an efi=debug command line option in the core code, use
this instead of the arm64-specific uefi_debug option.
