Merge branch 'fixes' of git://git.linaro.org/people/rmk/linux-arm
Pull ARM fixes from Russell King:
"This round of fixes is smaller than previous: a couple more updates
for the security fixes, and a one-liner kexec fix"
* 'fixes' of git://git.linaro.org/people/rmk/linux-arm:
ARM: 7816/1: CONFIG_KUSER_HELPERS: fix help text
ARM: 7815/1: kexec: offline non panic CPUs on Kdump panic
ARM: 7819/1: fiq: Cast the first argument of flush_icache_range()
