support, drop reorganisation of pt_regs, assert CONFIG_CPU_V7M doesn't
leak into installed headers and a few cosmetic changes]

Linux 3.7-rc2

Backmerge to solve two ugly conflicts:
- uapi. We've already added new ioctl definitions for -next. Do I need to say more?
- wc support gtt ptes. We've had to revert this for snb+ for 3.7 and
also fix a few other things in the code. Now we know how to make it
work on snb+, but to avoid losing the other fixes do the backmerge
first before re-enabling wc gtt ptes on snb+.

And a few other minor things, among them git getting confused in
intel_dp.c and seemingly causing a conflict out of nothing ...

Merge commit '5bc66170dc486556a1e36fd384463536573f4b82' into x86/urgent

From Borislav Petkov <bp@amd64.org>:

Below is a RAS fix which reverts the addition of a sysfs attribute
which we agreed is not needed, post-factum. And this should go in now
because that sysfs attribute is going to end up in 3.7 otherwise and
thus exposed to userspace; removing it then would be a lot harder.

This is done as a merge rather than a simple patch/cherry-pick since
the baseline for this patch was not in the previous x86/urgent.

Pull ARM update from Russell King:
"This is the final round of stuff for ARM, left until the end of the
merge window to reduce the number of conflicts. This set contains the
ARM part of David Howells UAPI changes, and a fix to the ordering of
'select' statements in ARM Kconfig files (see the appropriate commit
for why this happened - thanks to Andrew Morton for pointing out the
problem.)

I've left this as long as I dare for this window to avoid conflicts,
and I regenerated the config patch yesterday, posting it to our
mailing list for review and testing. I have several acks which
include successful test reports for it.

However, today I notice we've got new conflicts with previously unseen
code... though that conflict should be trivial (it's my changes vs a
one liner.)"

Moreover, not using current_thread_info() at all ends
up with better assembler - we need a location very close
to the top of kernel stack page and it's actually better
to do or with 0x1fff, followed be subtracting a small
constant than and with ~0x1fff, followed by adding a large
one. Both & and | would be a couple of insns (mvn lsr/mvn lsl
for |, a pair of bic for &), but the following addition
would cost a pair of add while the subtraction ends up
as a single sub.
