Merge branch 'akpm' (incoming from Andrew)

Merge third batch of fixes from Andrew Morton:
 "Most of the rest.  I still have two large patchsets against AIO and
  IPC, but they're a bit stuck behind other trees and I'm about to
  vanish for six days.

   - random fixlets
   - inotify
   - more of the MM queue
   - show_stack() cleanups
   - DMI update
   - kthread/workqueue things
   - compat cleanups
   - epoll udpates
   - binfmt updates
   - nilfs2
   - hfs
   - hfsplus
   - ptrace
   - kmod
   - coredump
   - kexec
   - rbtree
   - pids
   - pidns
   - pps
   - semaphore tweaks
   - some w1 patches
   - relay updates
   - core Kconfig changes
   - sysrq tweaks"
