Hi Ingo and Thomas,
Please consider pulling for x86/asm. The sysret stuff hasn't been in
-next, but it's been floating around for a while, and got a reasonably
favorable reception.
If you think it's too late for the sysret stuff for 3.20, then please
pull just "x86, traps: Fix ist_enter from userspace" instead. It
fixes a regression.
Thanks,
Andy

Pulled, thanks a lot Andy!
I'll give it some extra testing before pushing it out into -tip
and then towards linux-next.
Thanks,
Ingo
