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

Pull ARM updates from Russell King:
 "The major items included in here are:

   - MCPM, multi-cluster power management, part of the infrastructure
     required for ARMs big.LITTLE support.

   - A rework of the ARM KVM code to allow re-use by ARM64.

   - Error handling cleanups of the IS_ERR_OR_NULL() madness and fixes
     of that stuff for arch/arm

   - Preparatory patches for Cortex-M3 support from Uwe Kleine-König.

  There is also a set of three patches in here from Hugh/Catalin to
  address freeing of inappropriate page tables on LPAE.  You already
  have these from akpm, but they were already part of my tree at the
  time he sent them, so unfortunately they'll end up with duplicate
  commits"
