Linus Torvalds 441692aafc Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.armlinux.org.uk/~rmk/linux-arm
Pull ARM updates from Russell King:

 - add support for ELF fdpic binaries on both MMU and noMMU platforms

 - linker script cleanups

 - support for compressed .data section for XIP images

 - discard memblock arrays when possible

 - various cleanups

 - atomic DMA pool updates

 - better diagnostics of missing/corrupt device tree

 - export information to allow userspace kexec tool to place images more
   inteligently, so that the device tree isn't overwritten by the
   booting kernel

 - make early_printk more efficient on semihosted systems

 - noMMU cleanups

 - SA1111 PCMCIA update in preparation for further cleanups

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
