Pull VT-d hardware workarounds from David Woodhouse:
 "This contains a workaround for hardware issues which I *thought* were
  never going to be seen on production hardware.  I'm glad I checked
  that before the 4.1 release...

  Firstly, PASID support is so broken on existing chips that we're just
  going to declare the old capability bit 28 as 'reserved' and change
  the VT-d spec to move PASID support to another bit.  So any existing
  hardware doesn't support SVM; it only sets that (now) meaningless bit
  28.

  That patch *wasn't* imperative for 4.1 because we don't have PASID
  support yet.  But *even* the extended context tables are broken — if
  you just enable the wider tables and use none of the new bits in them,
  which is precisely what 4.1 does, you find that translations don't
  work.  It's this problem which I thought was caught in time to be
  fixed before production, but wasn't.

  To avoid triggering this issue, we now *only* enable the extended
  context tables on hardware which also advertises "we have PASID
  support and we actually tested it this time" with the new PASID
  feature bit.

  In addition, I've added an 'intel_iommu=ecs_off' command line
  parameter to allow us to disable it manually if we need to"

<content type='text'>
Although the extended tables are theoretically a completely orthogonal
feature to PASID and anything else that *uses* the newly-available bits,
some of the early hardware has problems even when all we do is enable
them and use only the same bits that were in the old context tables.

For now, there's no motivation to support extended tables unless we're
going to use PASID support to do SVM. So just don't use them unless
PASID support is advertised too. Also add a command-line bailout just in
case later chips also have issues.

The equivalent problem for PASID support has already been fixed with the
upcoming VT-d spec update and commit bd00c606a ("iommu/vt-d: Change
PASID support to bit 40 of Extended Capability Register"), because the
problematic platforms use the old definition of the PASID-capable bit,
which is now marked as reserved and meaningless.

So with this change, we'll magically start using ECS again only when we
see the new hardware advertising "hey, we have PASID support and we
actually tested it this time" on bit 40.

The VT-d hardware architect has promised that we are not going to have
any reason to support ECS *without* PASID any time soon, and he'll make
sure he checks with us before changing that.

In the future, if hypothetical new features also use new bits in the
context tables and can be seen on implementations *without* PASID support,
we might need to add their feature bits to the ecs_enabled() macro.

The usb-storage driver sets max_sectors = 240 in its scsi-host template,
for uas we do not want to do that for all devices, but testing has shown
that some devices need it.

This commit adds a US_FL_MAX_SECTORS_240 flag for such devices, and
implements support for it in uas.c, while at it it also adds support
for US_FL_MAX_SECTORS_64 to uas.c.

Pull initial ACPI support for arm64 from Will Deacon:
 "This series introduces preliminary ACPI 5.1 support to the arm64
  kernel using the "hardware reduced" profile.  We don't support any
  peripherals yet, so it's fairly limited in scope:

   - MEMORY init (UEFI)

   - ACPI discovery (RSDP via UEFI)

   - CPU init (FADT)

   - GIC init (MADT)

   - SMP boot (MADT + PSCI)

   - ACPI Kconfig options (dependent on EXPERT)

  ACPI for arm64 has been in development for a while now and hardware
  has been available that can boot with either FDT or ACPI tables.  This
  has been made possible by both changes to the ACPI spec to cater for
  ARM-based machines (known as "hardware-reduced" in ACPI parlance) but
  also a Linaro-driven effort to get this supported on top of the Linux
  kernel.  This pull request is the result of that work.

  These changes allow us to initialise the CPUs, interrupt controller,
  and timers via ACPI tables, with memory information and cmdline coming
  from EFI.  We don't support a hybrid ACPI/FDT scheme.  Of course,
  there is still plenty of work to do (a serial console would be nice!)
  but I expect that to happen on a per-driver basis after this core
  series has been merged.

  Anyway, the diff stat here is fairly horrible, but splitting this up
  and merging it via all the different subsystems would have been
  extremely painful.  Instead, we've got all the relevant Acks in place
  and I've not seen anything other than trivial (Kconfig) conflicts in
  -next (for completeness, I've included my resolution below).  Nearly
  half of the insertions fall under Documentation/.

  So, we'll see how this goes.  Right now, it all depends on EXPERT and
  I fully expect people to use FDT by default for the immediate future"

Pull PMEM driver from Ingo Molnar:
 "This is the initial support for the pmem block device driver:
  persistent non-volatile memory space mapped into the system's physical
  memory space as large physical memory regions.

  The driver is based on Intel code, written by Ross Zwisler, with fixes
  by Boaz Harrosh, integrated with x86 e820 memory resource management
  and tidied up by Christoph Hellwig.

  Note that there were two other separate pmem driver submissions to
  lkml: but apparently all parties (Ross Zwisler, Boaz Harrosh) are
  reasonably happy with this initial version.

  This version enables minimal support that enables persistent memory
  devices out in the wild to work as block devices, identified through a
  magic (non-standard) e820 flag and auto-discovered if
  CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY=y, or added explicitly through manipulating the
  memory maps via the "memmap=..." boot option with the new, special '!'
  modifier character.

  Limitations: this is a regular block device, and since the pmem areas
  are not struct page backed, they are invisible to the rest of the
  system (other than the block IO device), so direct IO to/from pmem
  areas, direct mmap() or XIP is not possible yet.  The page cache will
  also shadow and double buffer pmem contents, etc.

Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle:
 "This is the main pull request for MIPS for Linux 4.1.  Most
  noteworthy:

   - Add more Octeon-optimized crypto functions
   - Octeon crypto preemption and locking fixes
   - Little endian support for Octeon
   - Use correct CSR to soft reset Octeons
   - Support LEDs on the Octeon-based DSR-1000N
   - Fix PCI interrupt mapping for the Octeon-based DSR-1000N
   - Mark prom_free_prom_memory() as __init for a number of systems
   - Support for Imagination's Pistachio SOC.  This includes arch and
     CLK bits.  I'd like to merge pinctrl bits later
   - Improve parallelism of csum_partial for certain pipelines
   - Organize DTB files in subdirs like other architectures
   - Implement read_sched_clock for all MIPS platforms other than
     Octeon
   - Massive series of 38 fixes and cleanups for the FPU emulator /
     kernel
   - Further FPU remulator work to support new features.  This sits on a
     separate branch which also has been pulled into the 4.1 KVM branch
   - Clean up and fixes for the SEAD3 eval board; remove unused file
   - Various updates for Netlogic platforms
   - A number of small updates for Loongson 3 platforms
   - Increase the memory limit for ATH79 platforms to 256MB
   - A fair number of fixes and updates for BCM47xx platforms
   - Finish the implementation of XPA support
   - MIPS FDC support.  No, not floppy controller but Fast Debug Channel :)
   - Detect the R16000 used in SGI legacy platforms
   - Fix Kconfig dependencies for the SSB bus support"

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These are mostly fixes and cleanups all over, although there are a few
  items that sort of fall into the new feature category.

  First off, we have new callbacks for PM domains that should help us to
  handle some issues related to device initialization in a better way.

  There also is some consolidation in the unified device properties API
  area allowing us to use that inferface for accessing data coming from
  platform initialization code in addition to firmware-provided data.

  We have some new device/CPU IDs in a few drivers, support for new
  chips and a new cpufreq driver too.

  Specifics:

   - Generic PM domains support update including new PM domain callbacks
     to handle device initialization better (Russell King, Rafael J
     Wysocki, Kevin Hilman)

   - Unified device properties API update including a new mechanism for
     accessing data provided by platform initialization code (Rafael J
     Wysocki, Adrian Hunter)

   - ARM cpuidle update including ARM32/ARM64 handling consolidation
     (Daniel Lezcano)

   - intel_idle update including support for the Silvermont Core in the
     Baytrail SOC and for the Airmont Core in the Cherrytrail and
     Braswell SOCs (Len Brown, Mathias Krause)

   - New cpufreq driver for Hisilicon ACPU (Leo Yan)

   - intel_pstate update including support for the Knights Landing chip
     (Dasaratharaman Chandramouli, Kristen Carlson Accardi)

   - QorIQ cpufreq driver update (Tang Yuantian, Arnd Bergmann)

   - powernv cpufreq driver update (Shilpasri G Bhat)

   - devfreq update including Tegra support changes (Tomeu Vizoso,
     MyungJoo Ham, Chanwoo Choi)

   - powercap RAPL (Running-Average Power Limit) driver update including
     support for Intel Broadwell server chips (Jacob Pan, Mathias Krause)

   - ACPI device enumeration update related to the handling of the
     special PRP0001 device ID allowing DT-style 'compatible' property
     to be used for ACPI device identification (Rafael J Wysocki)

   - ACPI EC driver update including limited _DEP support (Lan Tianyu,
     Lv Zheng)

   - ACPI backlight driver update including a new mechanism to allow
     native backlight handling to be forced on non-Windows 8 systems and
     a new quirk for Lenovo Ideapad Z570 (Aaron Lu, Hans de Goede)

   - New Windows Vista compatibility quirk for Sony VGN-SR19XN (Chen Yu)

   - Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups (Aaron Lu, Martin Kepplinger,
     Masanari Iida, Mika Westerberg, Nan Li, Rafael J Wysocki)

   - Fixes related to suspend-to-idle for the iTCO watchdog driver and
     the ACPI core system suspend/resume code (Rafael J Wysocki, Chen Yu)

   - PM tracing support for the suspend phase of system suspend/resume
     transitions (Zhonghui Fu)

   - Configurable delay for the system suspend/resume testing facility
     (Brian Norris)

   - PNP subsystem cleanups (Peter Huewe, Rafael J Wysocki)"
