Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew)
Merge fifth set of updates from Andrew Morton:
- A few things which were awaiting merges from linux-next:
- rtc
- ocfs2
- misc others
- Willy's "dax" feature: direct fs access to memory (mainly NV-DIMMs)
which isn't backed by pageframes.

ocfs2: complete the rest request through buffer io
ocfs2: do not fallback to buffer I/O write if appending
ocfs2: allocate blocks in ocfs2_direct_IO_get_blocks
ocfs2: implement ocfs2_direct_IO_write
