Merge branch 'akpm' (Andrew's incoming - part two)
Says Andrew: "60 patches. That's good enough for -rc1 I guess. I have quite a lot of detritus to be rechecked, work through maintainers, etc. - most of the remains of MM - rtc - various misc - cgroups - memcg - cpusets - procfs - ipc - rapidio - sysctl - pps - w1 - drivers/misc - aio" * akpm: (60 commits) memcg: replace ss->id_lock with a rwlock aio: allocate kiocbs in batches drivers/misc/vmw_balloon.c: fix typo in code comment drivers/misc/vmw_balloon.c: determine page allocation flag can_sleep outside loop w1: disable irqs in critical section drivers/w1/w1_int.c: multiple masters used same init_name drivers/power/ds2780_battery.c: fix deadlock upon insertion and removal drivers/power/ds2780_battery.c: add a nolock function to w1 interface drivers/power/ds2780_battery.c: create central point for calling w1 interface w1: ds2760 and ds2780, use ida for id and ida_simple_get() to get it pps gpio client: add missing dependency pps: new client driver using GPIO pps: default echo function include/linux/dma-mapping.h: add dma_zalloc_coherent() sysctl: make CONFIG_SYSCTL_SYSCALL default to n sysctl: add support for poll() RapidIO: documentation update drivers/net/rionet.c: fix ethernet address macros for LE platforms RapidIO: fix potential null deref in rio_setup_device() RapidIO: add mport driver for Tsi721 bridge ...
