Merge branch 'x86-asm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull x86 asm changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "The biggest changes in this cycle were:

   - Revamp, simplify (and in some cases fix) Time Stamp Counter (TSC)
     primitives.  (Andy Lutomirski)

   - Add new, comprehensible entry and exit handlers written in C.
     (Andy Lutomirski)

   - vm86 mode cleanups and fixes.  (Brian Gerst)

   - 32-bit compat code cleanups.  (Brian Gerst)

  The amount of simplification in low level assembly code is already
  palpable:

     arch/x86/entry/entry_32.S                          | 130 +----
     arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S                          | 197 ++-----

  but more simplifications are planned.

  There's also the usual laudry mix of low level changes - see the
  changelog for details"
