Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.linaro.org/people/rmk/linux-arm

Pull second set of ARM updates from Russell King:
 "This is the second set of ARM updates for this merge window.

  Contained within are changes to allow the kernel to boot in hypervisor
  mode on CPUs supporting virtualization, and cache flushing support to
  the point of inner sharable unification, which are used by the
  suspend/resume code to avoid having to do a full cache flush.

  Also included is one fix for VFP code identified by Michael Olbrich."

+  CPUs which include support for the virtualization extensions can be
+  entered in HYP mode in order to enable the kernel to make full use of
+  these extensions.  This is the recommended boot method for such CPUs,
+  unless the virtualisations are already in use by a pre-installed
+  hypervisor.

+  If the kernel is not entered in HYP mode for any reason, it must be
+  entered in SVC mode.
 
 - Caches, MMUs
   The MMU must be off.
   Instruction cache may be on or off.
   Data cache must be off.
 
+  If the kernel is entered in HYP mode, the above requirements apply to
+  the HYP mode configuration in addition to the ordinary PL1 (privileged
+  kernel modes) configuration.  In addition, all traps into the
+  hypervisor must be disabled, and PL1 access must be granted for all
+  peripherals and CPU resources for which this is architecturally
+  possible.  Except for entering in HYP mode, the system configuration
+  should be such that a kernel which does not include support for the
+  virtualization extensions can boot correctly without extra help.

 - The boot loader is expected to call the kernel image by jumping
   directly to the first instruction of the kernel image.
