Thanks!

Note that the x86/Voyager code will have to be totally reworked ontop of the 
new x86 subarch code and that the cpumask logic there is largely obsolete 
(in the context of linux-next) and cannot be triggered via any 
Kconfig-reachable build mode anymore.

I've pushed out a next tip/auto-core-next branch so the conflict should 
disappear from your tree.

Note that there's another upcoming conflict, in arch/x86/mm/fault.c, due to 
this upstream commit from a few hours ago:

  9be260a: prevent kprobes from catching spurious page faults

This will conflict both with the pagefault cleanups in tip/x86/mm and with 
tip/kmemcheck so it's a non-trivial 3-way conflict. I've resolved the 
conflicts explicitly on the Git level and pushed out a freshly integrated 
x86-next, core-next and kmemcheck-next tree as well - so you should not be 
seeing conflicts in that area.

Note: take care because these trees also contain a lot of new stuff: the x86 
APIC and subarch rewrite, the shiny new percpu changes and cleanup and more. 
Let us know if you run into any trouble with them.

Thanks,

	Ingo
