 "This update consists of:

   - Fixes and improvements to existing tests

   - Moving code from Documentation to selftests, samples, and tools:

     * Moves dnotify_test, prctl, ptp, vDSO, ia64, watchdog, and
       networking tests from Documentation to selftests.

     * Moves mic/mpssd, misc-devices/mei, timers, watchdog, auxdisplay,
       and blackfin examples from Documentation to samples.

     * Moves accounting, laptops/dslm, and pcmcia/crc32hash tools from
       Documentation to tools.

     * Deletes BUILD_DOCSRC and its dependencies"
