Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.linaro.org/people/rmk/linux-arm
Pull second set of ARM updates from Russell King:
"This is the second set of ARM updates for this merge window.
Contained within are changes to allow the kernel to boot in hypervisor
mode on CPUs supporting virtualization, and cache flushing support to
the point of inner sharable unification, which are used by the
suspend/resume code to avoid having to do a full cache flush.
Also included is one fix for VFP code identified by Michael Olbrich."
