Merge tty-next into 3.6-rc1
This handles the merge issue in: arch/um/drivers/line.c arch/um/drivers/line.h And resolves the duplicate patches that were in both trees do to the tty-next branch not getting merged into 3.6-rc1. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

+ X86-only for now.
+
+ This option allows the user to tune the amount of TLB entries the
+ kernel flushes one-by-one instead of doing a full TLB flush. In
+ certain situations, the former is cheaper. This is controlled by the
+ tlb_flushall_shift knob under /sys/kernel/debug/x86. If you set it
+ to -1, the code flushes the whole TLB unconditionally. Otherwise,
+ for positive values of it, the kernel will use single TLB entry
+ invalidating instructions according to the following formula:
+
+ flush_entries <= active_tlb_entries / 2^tlb_flushall_shift
+
+ If in doubt, say "N".
