Merge tag 'char-misc-3.8-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc

Pull Char/Misc driver merge from Greg Kroah-Hartman:
"Here is the "big" char/misc driver patches for 3.8-rc1. I'm starting
to put random driver subsystems that I had previously sent you through
the driver-core tree in this tree, as it makes more sense to do so.

Nothing major here, the various __dev* removals, some mei driver
updates, and other random driver-specific things from the different
maintainers and developers.

Note, some MFD drivers got added through this tree, and they are also
coming in through the "real" MFD tree as well, due to some major
mis-communication between me and the different developers. If you
have any merge conflicts, take the ones from the MFD tree, not these
ones, sorry about that.

All of this has been in linux-next for a while.

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.
