Merge branch 'master' into x86/memblock
Conflicts & resolutions:
* arch/x86/xen/setup.c
dc91c728fd "xen: allow extra memory to be in multiple regions"
24aa07882b "memblock, x86: Replace memblock_x86_reserve/free..."
conflicted on xen_add_extra_mem() updates. The resolution is
trivial as the latter just want to replace
memblock_x86_reserve_range() with memblock_reserve().
* drivers/pci/intel-iommu.c
166e9278a3f "x86/ia64: intel-iommu: move to drivers/iommu/"
5dfe8660a3d "bootmem: Replace work_with_active_regions() with..."
conflicted as the former moved the file under drivers/iommu/.
Resolved by applying the chnages from the latter on the moved
file.
* mm/Kconfig
6661672053a "memblock: add NO_BOOTMEM config symbol"
c378ddd53f9 "memblock, x86: Make ARCH_DISCARD_MEMBLOCK a config option"
conflicted trivially. Both added config options. Just
letting both add their own options resolves the conflict.
* mm/memblock.c
d1f0ece6cdc "mm/memblock.c: small function definition fixes"
ed7b56a799c "memblock: Remove memblock_memory_can_coalesce()"
confliected. The former updates function removed by the
latter. Resolution is trivial.
