rename the nbd_device variable from "lo" to "nbd", since "lo" is just a name
copied from loop.c.

Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells:
 "Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of
  separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion
  dependencies.

  I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can
  and made sure that they don't break.

  The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular
  dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to
  optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2().

  This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in
  asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h.

  The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h.  It holds a number of
  low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg.
  memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that
  aren't used in many places (eg.  switch_to()).

  These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces:

    (1) asm/barrier.h

        Move memory barriers here.  This already done for MIPS and Alpha.

    (2) asm/switch_to.h

        Move switch_to() and related stuff here.

    (3) asm/exec.h

        Move arch_align_stack() here.  Other process execution related bits
        could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h.

    (4) asm/cmpxchg.h

        Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and
        frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg().

    (5) asm/bug.h

        Move die() and related bits.

    (6) asm/auxvec.h

        Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here.

  Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."

Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code
around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat
weakened by that.  We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it..

Pull a few more things for powerpc by Benjamin Herrenschmidt:
 - Anton's did some recent improvements to EPOW event reporting on
   pSeries (power supply failures and such).  The patches are self
   contained enough and replace really nasty code so I felt it should
   still go in
 - I did the vio driver registration change Greg requested, I don't see
   the point of leaving that til the next merge window
 - The remaining EEH changes I said were still pending to get rid of the
   EEH references from the generic struct device_node
 - A few more iSeries removal bits
 - A perf bug fix on 970

* 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc:
  powerpc/perf: Fix instruction address sampling on 970 and Power4
  powerpc+sparc/vio: Modernize driver registration
  powerpc: Random little legacy iSeries removal tidy ups
  powerpc: Remove NO_IRQ_IGNORE
  powerpc/pseries: Cut down on enthusiastic use of defines in RAS code
  powerpc/pseries: Clean up ras_error_interrupt code
  powerpc/pseries: Remove RTAS_POWERMGM_EVENTS
  powerpc/pseries: Use rtas_get_sensor in RAS code

  powerpc: Make function that parses RTAS error logs global

Pull Ceph updates for 3.4-rc1 from Sage Weil:
 "Alex has been busy.  There are a range of rbd and libceph cleanups,
  especially surrounding device setup and teardown, and a few critical
  fixes in that code.  There are more cleanups in the messenger code,
  virtual xattrs, a fix for CRC calculation/checks, and lots of other
  miscellaneous stuff.

  There's a patch from Amon Ott to make inos behave a bit better on
  32-bit boxes, some decode check fixes from Xi Wang, and network
  throttling fix from Jim Schutt, and a couple RBD fixes from Josh
  Durgin.

  No new functionality, just a lot of cleanup and bug fixing."

This makes vio_register_driver() get the module owner &amp; name at compile
time like PCI drivers do, and adds a name pointer directly in struct
vio_driver to avoid having to explicitly initialize the embedded
struct device.

 "One tiny feature that accidentally got lost in the initial git pull:
   * Add fast-EOI acking of interrupts (clear a bit instead of

  And bug-fixes:
   * Fix CPU bring-up code missing a call to notify other subsystems.
   * Fix reading /sys/hypervisor even if PVonHVM drivers are not loaded.
   * In Xen ACPI processor driver: remove too verbose WARN messages, fix
     up the Kconfig dependency to be a module by default, and add
     dependency on CPU_FREQ.
   * Disable CPU frequency drivers from loading when booting under Xen
     (as we want the Xen ACPI processor to be used instead).
   * Cleanups in tmem code."

only the changed properties are copied over. We don't need a new
